From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I used to use innoextract to extract the launchers, and the the system wine to run it. Although sometimes I have to run extra installers that put dlls in the right spots.
You should probably just run the installer in lutris (which ships a proton distributution) or bottles.
Edit: I can't read smh my head.
Check this out: https://github.com/lutris/docs/blob/2b116519c5b67254733234f36ab33a60f14f1358/WineDependencies.md
Thanks! So I would just set up Wine according to this, configure the prefixes and then run the game?
On another note, It just hit me that Proton was Valve's version of wine (from my understanding). I'll definitely give this a shot. Thanks moonpie!
