Honestly I have an easier time running old Windows games on Linux than on Windows.

Hmm…I wonder if I can install the original Blade Runner on Wine, since the installer doesnt work on windows anymore due to being…16bit i think.

Possibly. Diablo 1 for example gave me trouble on Windows 7 but works great on Wine.

Try something like this: https://github.com/leecher1337/ntvdmx64

This lets me run some old 16 bit games on the latest Win 10x64.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
