  1. winesapOS

    winesapOS - Game with Linux anywhere, no installation required!

    I run winesapOS[0] which is based on SteamOS and was able to repurpose an old Toshiba notebook for my kids, running Freddy Fish* and other games. Windows 10 doesn't run smoothly (even though it came with Windows 10) and I'm not going to run anything older than that.

    * Yes, ScummVM is available for Linux but the Steam Linux distribution included an old ScummVM which wasn't able to load some libraries. Running the Windows version through an compatibility layer was easier than modifying shell files to run the latest ScummVM through flatpak.

  3. AreWeAntiCheatYet

    A comprehensive and crowd-sourced list of games using anti-cheats and their compatibility with GNU/Linux or Wine.

    A surprisingly big number of anti-cheat games work on Proton:

  4. Whisky

    A modern Wine wrapper for macOS built with SwiftUI

    Whisky [0] makes it easy to install the Windows Steam client on macOS. I've played a few games on it, mostly flawlessly. Performance is nowhere near native though. Hopefully this improves over time.
