This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/linux_gaming

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • 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.

  • quickemu

    Quickly create and run optimised Windows, macOS and Linux desktop virtual machines.

    I'd say, just do it in a virtual machine if you're unsure. You can setup one quickly with Boxes or quickemu (though virt-manager has more power, if you ever need to tinker with VM setups).

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
