On windows there is a lot of (mostly old) software that don’t work for random drivers/incompatibility. Proton/Wine is something that often you don’t even have to touch in order to use as its integrated into steam, so I don’t see why it should be a downside. Rather, I almost prefer wine prefixes over classic windows as I can decide a program which software should use without fearing weird versions mismatches or other errors steaming from global non-managed installations

I had to emulate windows once and it was for pyinstaller, not even a game. I doubt you have any experience at all

Installing games on steam and playing them sounds like what you do on Linux 99% of the time too

That’s totally not how it works. Not only nobody has the need for such tools, but the technology got there much before the current state of AI

It’s plex but open source and without any sort of subscription. I have been using it for a couple of years and never had a problem
