This is really helpful because older games sometimes used DLLs that could conflict with others and cause problems. The best thing is that it will let you have a separate virtual C: drive for each game you install. Ones that run without any special configuration are often no on the list. If the game you want to install isn't listed, you use the link at the bottom to "install a non-listed program". For games that have problems with the WINE defaults, the PlayOnLinux helps with their configuration.

The PlayOnLinux package for UBUNTU is a great help. It actually runs much better using WINE under UBUNTU-MATE than it does on Windows 10 on the same machine. I'm a huge fan of the old Star Trek Armada II game, which runs great on Ubuntu using WINE. Using the WINE facility works much better than VirtualBox, especially for older games written for WinXP and earlier. A friend asked me for advice on this after reading this post. This is an older question, but I'm adding a comment for others that are looking for help. If there's a right place to ask this whether StackExchange sites or any other site let me know.Ĭheers and I hope those in the same position find a middle ground. I'm aware of the linux client, but most of those games won't work. I'm merely trying to come back to linux, yet I'm a PC gamer so I can't throw away Steam. I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask.
