Do it and don't look back. pretty much all windows games work on Linux now with proton
People say this, but I assume they're pretty much exclusively referring to modern games or stuff on Steam that gets some non-zero level of support via Valve because of Steamdeck. How about ancient abandonware games coded up by some RPG enthusiast in their basement with no company or support to speak of where the only way to actually find the damn thing is to dig out the dust ridden zip disk I saved it to thirty years ago? Is that one going to magically just work because of Proton too?

My distro has better dos support than windows 11. XWing Alliance and Star Wars Pod Racer run without issue.
