Nice I am going to give it a try. Thank you for sharing
I used to use this, but I always found it really janky - window boundaries not updating, weird graphical glitches, etcetera.
It was especially annoying to use with Photoshop and GPU acceleration (I do GPU passthrough to my VM).
In the end, I just abandoned it and just used the monitor the VM’s GPU is plugged into.
I feel mislead, none of the apps actually run on Linux.
What’s actually the best one? I used to use PlayOnLinux and it worked so well. But then it started to have problems and I read it was abandoned.
So, for example, if I wanted to play Guild Wars with multilaunch, what integrator would be smoothest and least complicated?
Speaking from my egregious amount of hours in GW1&2 back in the day, you should just launch it through steam with Proton. Check people's settings here: https://www.protondb.com/app/1284210 There is likely a Lutris prefab as well.
Yeah I don’t play it on Steam, I use the old launcher because I run multilaunch. I was playing it back in ‘06 and am stuck in my ways.
I’ll take a look in Lutris, though, thanks.
I ran the old launcher through steam. It looks like, according to that link, that you can trigger the old launcher screen through execution commands now too.
I’m just gonna run it solo either with multilaunch, or I’ll do separate vm instances for the different game instances. I don’t need Steam for anything as of yet.
Thanks for the info about the front-ends.

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.
