What is my best option for playing GOG windows-only games?

Lutris has been experiencing some weird behavior with GOG since the last big update to 0.5.8 i think. It might also be new enough that the scripts to install it aren't completely baked yet. Although the latest version isnt supported by your installed version of OpenSUSE, id take a look at MiniGalaxy in the future. https://github.com/sharkwouter/minigalaxy its biggest advantage id say is that it simplifies the install of updates and DLC, and helps you keep all your games side by side. You will still need to learn some of the basics of wine, like using winetricks to install windows dlls and components. Say you want to install your game in a folder on your PC at /mnt/Games, you can run the windows exe with wine using this command: WINEPREFIX="/mnt/Games/Little_Nightmares_2" wine "Little Nightmares 2.exe" or whatever the exe name is. You'll also need winetricks to simplify the install of Windows core components like say VCruns, DirectX, and others. Install winetricks from your distro's software center, and call it from the terminal with the command WINEPREFIX="mnt/Games/Little_Nightmares_2" winetricks. The dialog box that appears will ask you if you want to use the default prefix; since you declared the prefix you wanted already as part of the command to run winetricks, click it and press okay. Then click instal the windows dlls/components option. Scroll through and install DXVK latest. Its not a guarantee the game will run now, but unless there's a new windows related spooky thing under the hood, it should run.
