worth noting that if it's on Steam, they enabled the ability to use
Proton[0a] and Vulkan[0b] for *all* Windows games in their libraries.[1]
so Wine isn't really relevant if it's in your Steam library. There's a
good chance it works fine with Proton; it's done pretty well. there are
some that still require some fiddling (just as there always will be for
any platform/OS), but i'm genuinely pleased with the results.

for non-Steam games, you can still use e.g. Proton/Vulkan but it's
usually easier to just use Wine directly.
