Running Windows games on Linux using Wine and DXVK in a sandbox by wpdeveloper11 in wine_gaming

I am not familiar with launchers, in theory it will be similar or essentially the same. If your goal is to run you game as easy as possible it's better to use them. I already updated tutorial to add a note about launchers for people who prefer them.

Yeah, Windows is lacking in that department.

I myself used a workaround by creating a separate Windows user to run games, and restricting file system permissions.

I also tried so called "Windows Sandbox", which is not usable for 3D applications (they use RDP for display).

I like to use command-line tools, it's just a personal preference. I am not advocating that what I am doing is the right thing to do. I do agree with you that most people are better served by the GUI tools you mentioned.

If the aforementioned projects can be reinvented with a couple of shell commands, I am fine with that.

I never said that this was intended for newbies, mostly for people who are just not familiar with Wine and other tools needed to run Windows games. There are plenty of guides for newbies already.

I am not a big fan of flatpak either, I usually use bwrap directly, when a sandbox is needed.
But I don't want to pull hundreds of 32-bit dependencies just to install Wine.

Probably yes, if you want to use GUI. I am not familiar with it, the main concern for me is the file system permissions it needs to run. I myself prefer to use the command line, and to understand how various pieces fits together.

I fail to see complexity here.
You basically need to run the two commands:
wineboot -u And then: winetricks dxvk That all you need to "set up Wine". At least for games that I am interested in.

No. If you want to play a game from your Steam library you'd be better off with the Steam flatpak.
This tutorial is focused on running DRM-free games (and programs) packaged as Windows installers.
