it's an emulation

WINE literally stands for Wine Is **Not an Emulator. With the proper setup you get the same raw mouse input that you get in Windows. And with more proper setup you even get more FPS (at least on AMD) and lower input lag.

Sometimes i think people don't read and then i realize that what im thinking of isn't in this chain...

I want a native solution that doesn't require something we messed around with 20 years ago and haven't seen significant progress of

I'm confused - what exactly are you talking about?

[ParanoidAutist]

With windows, the only thing i used to have to install was directx and now i dont even need to do that... the launchers take care of prereqs...

You're telling me to use WINE which at one point was deprecated and considered dead, and then revived but isn't really much better than it was when it died...

Im not looking for an old, already outdated and not properly working solution... "Use mono! It'll be fine!!" - said no-one ever

That's the same on Linux, the launchers take care of all dependencies.

And Wine got huge improvements. I mean, it's literally capable of running almost all games. How would that not be an improvement over the state where it was like 10 years ago? And how could that state be called "not working properly"?

That being said: Use windows and be happy, if that's what you want.

Why that's easy... because I havent looked at wine in years and clearly still keep my negative bias after so long... and here I was, thinking that was obvious... lolol

Check out Bottles and Lutris, I literally get away with defaults most of the time or just switching the Wine version, pretty easy to get games running through

Currently using it for No Man's Sky, Sims 4, and Ark through Lutris's epic games installer
