How are people coping with games that just won’t run on Linux (aside from leaving them behind)? Do you dual boot Windows? Virtualize? What’s your strategy for this?

This will be extremely rare for me since I don’t play a lot of competitive stuff, but I’d love to find a solution. I have a large library, and it’s bound to happen from time to time.

This might come off as an easy way out to your question, but very simply I just don’t bother with games that don’t run on linux. There’s enough really great titles that run great on linux, especially with the help of proton.

I can’t be bothered with using windows anymore. It’s so bad. It’s very very bad, I rather do something else than have to play games under windows. I’ll only use windows if I absolutely m must, like for when I’m at work.

This. I had written a similar last paragraph in my answer below, but decided to delete it before submitting.

I have to suffer Windows at work. No way on earth this sad excuse for an operating system gets anywhere near my gaming PC. I want my gaming PC to be for fun stuff, not use it to torture myself.
