I have decided to switch to Linux Mint from windows. I don’t use computer for work that much. And for my personal use I’m switching to Linux Mint. I have heard a lot about it. So giving it a try. I know about emulating windows in linux to play window games. But how do you use cracks and stuff?? Does emulating also access my 100% graphics card or less? I want to know about all these. Please people in my condition help. Thanks in advance :)

You’ll probably want to use Proton. Being based on Wine, it’s not an emulator. It’s a native Linux implementation of various Windows APIs. One way to do it is Lutris.

Ok got it.

  • bottles
  • proton
  • lutris
  • wine

I’ll try one game with most different crack with each and see which works the best. Thanks for the suggestions.

FWIW bottles and lutris are launchers which will preconfigure and run your games in wine or proton which are the underlying translation layers.

I didn’t have much luck with Bottles in the past, but this is entirely anecdotal.

I just find the whole UI obtuse. Also too many dependencies if you’re on KDE.
