I agree Fallout New Vegas is a terrible example but I posted on this thread about my experience with Unity which 'claims' to be Linux compatible or supported but that's the problem when you try to use it nope. I find learning wine to be a bit of pain in the arse as well so I'll need to look it up for specific use cases.

Weirdly and perhaps I need to do deeper research on this, I found it a struggle to find a simple lightweight music player in Linux. Will maybe poke around again but I found it very odd how bloated the music players were. I come from the era of Winamp you see and the closest thing I've found is Foobar2000 but that's really a windows only program from what I understand. I don't want to spend a million years clicking through bloat crap just to play some music in the background while I work but that's the sort of thing I tend to do on my PC because of course writing code and 3D modelling in silence isn't exactly motivating.

Edit: Holy shit this video perfectly explains what I'm talking about, yes incredibly long, but if you glance through the UIs you'll see what I mean.

Edit: Well I didn't know about that, there was a very helpful comment in the youtube video that suggested Strawberry Music Player. It seems to be open source? Seems to have a straightforward UI so I guess that solves that problem.
