would be good if you added a comparison with https://github.com/zyedidia/eget on your repo

There used to be a project called ginstall.sh that kept like, a manually maintained database of various projects with static binaries and how to install them. It still exists, but maintenance stopped because its model was also not sustainable. Its use case is better covered by tools like asdf, stew, and if you want to get even simpler, eget.

I'm a huge fan of asdf and have been using for years together with direnv! It's great to see how much effort is put into it! I hope more people adopt it so that we don't have to `curl | sh`! One thing I have issues with asdf is security as are no checksums, so, you if I project get compromised you'll get compromised, too. This, of course, is in addition to the third-party asdf plugin getting itself compromised (which is the greater risk). Last, but not least - I wish asdf came with something like eget [0] incorporated so that it can install 99% of the plugins directly and safely! Last, but not least - 99% of the plugins have almost identical code and all that changes is the repo, so, this should be generalized. For example, many years ago I made just one codebase of all HashiCorp plugins [1] and it's been working great!

Install a Chromium-based browser (e.g. Brave) using Wine (I did it using Bottles), and you should be able to stream in 1080p.

GNU Bottles

Or you can use it as a Runner in Bottles and avoid all the hassle.

If it's a Windows game, maybe you can run it by Bottles.

For those using Bottles instead of Lutris, the installer for EA App there also Just Works™. Just last month I was playing Star Wars Squadrons there without any issue.

With Bottles they worked. I put the exe and dll in ~/.var/app/com.usebottles.bottles/data/bottles/bottles/[xxx]/drive_c/users/[xxx]/downloads/.

As long as you run them sandboxed, e.g. using Bottles via Flatpak, or maybe even Firejail, it's just very unlikely they will affect your system.
