PlayOnLinux (Phoenicis) is back? But confusing which is the current "true one" to install
Should the website www.playonlinux.com indicate the situation more clearly too? Any clarification? What do you think of this "mess"?

Windows 11 vs Linux Privacy
I noticed the Call of Duty series on Steam, so I expect most or all of them will play perfectly fine on Linux Mint in Steam. If you want to play Windows games outside of Steam, there are apps like Lutris and PlayOnLinux that make running Windows games on Linux pretty easy. https://lutris.net/ https://www.playonlinux.com/ https://www.protondb.com/search?q=call%20of%20duty

Is Linux worth for gaming? Which distro do you recommend?
If you will to run a game with Wine, use the release version. You can also use PlayOnLinux (I feel old mentioning this), Lutris, and Bottles (this new one I didn't tested yet).

I don't know what I'm doing. Trying to use wine for my windows softwares. I don't speak blank box.. help
So, I don't use WINE directly. Instead, I use PlayOnLinux, which hides most of the complexity for you. It handles all the WINE stuff on your behalf. It looks like you're using Ubuntu (please remember to include your Linux version in future!), so you can install PlayOnLinux from the standard repositories.

How to install PlayOnLinux?
I believe POL is basically dead, see the repo here: https://github.com/PlayOnLinux/POL-POM-4/commits/master where there were only 10 commits over the last 2 years.

Dear Microsoft, please leave me the hell alone. (Windows 10 Pro)
https://www.playonlinux.com/ is a good resource to get Windows Apps up and running easily and has a compatibility list of most software

Why isn't there a compatibility layer for MAC OS software like there is Windows?
There are also GUI front-ends for WINE. PlayOnLinux has been around for a long time, and Bottles has recently come on the scene. I don't know how to use WINE, but I can use it because of those two apps.

Verified/Playable games but from other stores
If you want to know if a game is playable or not and it doesn't have a linux version, then the best way I know of is looking it up on lutris. You can't look on protondb, because it's only for Steam games. You can also look on wine and playonlinux, but they usually aren't as exhaustive as lutris.

Eternally grateful for the people working on proton, lutris, and wine
I find WINE quite complicated to use, so I use PlayOnLinux, which is a front-end for WINE. Unless you need expert mode, it's way easier to use PlayOnLinux than to have to fiddle with setting up an app directly with WINE.

Why SciPy builds for Python 3.12 on Windows are a minor miracle
Sometimes when a detail of Windows isn't documented, the Wine source code can be useful. Have you tried looking at it for details of win64 SEH? For example:

DirectX 12 Support on macOS
It's Wine with some special sauce (Apple couldn't reuse VKD3D because they chose to invent Metal rather than stick with OpenGL/Vulkan so they had to build their graphics translation themselves). Crossover is built on the same technology. In fact, Apple's brew script literally links to Crossover's sources: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/apple/homebrew-apple/main/...
Things like the crypto API should be implemented if you can find the reference for your specific API calls here: https://github.com/wine-mirror/wine/tree/master/dlls/crypt32
Apple's version of Wine is aimed at developers, though. It shouldn't take too long for someone to make an app or script to easily set up environments with the developer runtime, but I doubt they'll support it as well as Valve supports Proton. If your application of choice doesn't need any fancy graphics, there's a decent chance Wine/Crossover can already run it anyway, no need to mess with Apple's SDK.
With the M2 Max outputting 28fps at 1080p (screenshot linked), I wouldn't expect too much from the gaming performance of this thing, though.

Proton troubleshooting in the Internet (tm) manner?
Well, I personally can't confirm nor deny that (the only "old" game I play is Plants vs Zombies (2009), and surprisingly it still works great with latest Proton). But the reality is that Wine/Proton are very large and complex projects, developed by pretty much just reverse engineering Windows; Couple this with the fact that a lot of changes happen in-between versions (especially in Wine), and even though an one-line change fixes an issue, it might end up breaking something, elsewhere. My point is, it's almost inevitable not to break stuff eventually. This is why Valve gives us older Proton versions to choose from.
What are some alternatives?
lutris - Lutris desktop client
winapps - Run Windows apps such as Microsoft Office/Adobe in Linux (Ubuntu/Fedora) and GNOME/KDE as if they were a part of the native OS, including Nautilus integration.
phoenicis - Phoenicis PlayOnLinux and PlayOnMac 5 repository
vkd3d-proton - Fork of VKD3D. Development branches for Proton's Direct3D 12 implementation.
AppImageLauncher - Helper application for Linux distributions serving as a kind of "entry point" for running and integrating AppImages
wine-tkg-git - The wine-tkg build systems, to create custom Wine and Proton builds
Proton-Caller - Run any Windows program through Proton
Proton - Compatibility tool for Steam Play based on Wine and additional components
openrazer - Open source driver and user-space daemon to control Razer lighting and other features on GNU/Linux
