This is, unsurprisingly, an absolute no-go on Linux and will never work with WINE -- which means Steam's Proton -- either.)

My kids (those still at home and the grown up ones) all now have Windows gaming machines. The last video game that I was any good at was Pong. So I fully admit that I'm ignorant about what games will run on Linux machines. I just know that my kids (in the past) were never interested in Linux because it wouldn't run "such and such" game. So my "two questions" may now be outdated — not that I'm really a Linux evangelist anyhow. The only time people ask me about Linux is if they see me using it.
