> In most cases you may execute such programs & games under Linux via WINE (+ Mono, PlayOnLinux, Winetricks; if needed).
I do this for most games I want to play (and many are available natively on Linux these days!) but there are a few games with intrusive DRM that stop you from playing them on Linux.
I have an older laptop lying around running Windows that I use for those if they’re not too demanding. Otherwise I’ll buy them on a console, though I tend to only buy consoles after they’ve been out for several years these days.
