And if you know where to search, there is a Wine repack for Linux. I tested it on Debian testing -- works.
I don't understand why I would need that. Can't you just run any release through a normally installed version of wine?
In most cases -- no. Wine is far from being a reliable tool. Many programs demand this or that patch for Wine to work. And you surely don't want to tinker with that.
I've only had like 3 games from FitGirl not work fine installing with Lutris.
2 of them needed some dependency like .NET installed first, and only one I could get working at all but the DODi version worked fine.
Everyone kept telling me Wine sucks even before I switch to Linux. But I've had it work fine a lot more times than not, even for some old obscure software that barely works on Windows 10 anymore.
Weird. I have yet to encounter a game that wine-ge couldn't handle out of the box.
I have an old Win95 game that isn't working very well but that doesn't run on modern windows either
I have tried many different fitgirl repacks through bottles. Currently playing Alan Wake 2 without issues.
