1.Bottles have some exclusive easy to use features like full backup of entire wine/proton prefix and then later u can restore on any machine with bottles without any reconfigurations also bottles have custom where u can manually choose what dependencies to install and not mess up prefix

2.Most of time I am using portproton it’s installing most of depencies which games need but for example I had where program was need Microsoft .net implentstion ,wine mono was an not option because it wsd not working with this program and there was not normal way to uninstall wine mono and install MS .net ,so I switched for bottles for this program created custom prefix and installed everything what I needed.

About lutris not used too much honestly I tired it maybe 4-5 years and it’s never worked for me ,most scrips which working for licensed software not worked for pirated installer from my experience so I prefer control everything manually. :)

Use bottles/portproton and try install mods in the way u do on windows no much difference

+1

Yeah it’s called CGNAT ,so pirating things not so scary when many other people under same IP downloading pirated stuff :D

Yes, I created such a tool,it works starting from windows vista, but it is not easy because of some features. From Windows, we must predict the name as the device will be called in Linux because the Mint installer does not know how to work with UUID for an automated installation, and then how the Ubuntu is changing the installer for parameters. This is a real hell

Personally when I even using I don’t give them a penny ,always pirate edition and btw it’s possible to run Photoshop cs6 through wine.

Well at least we have alternative for maya= blender ,premier = davinci resolve,about Photoshop yeah there no same level powerful tools the closest I used is krita.

I am using thinkpad t430 with 8 gig of ram ,with virt-manager and qemu and have installed windows 10 with after script to delete all bloatware to make system more snappy and more responding u can easily USB pass through I phones in there for iTunes,for accessing just file on iPhone u can use ifuse

Preventing in any way to make work modern firmware for any modern devices which dynamically loading from ur disk ,and prevent installing closed source software too ,they blocked even electron framework need to work for software like freetube for example.

In my case, the solution was to disable “connect 2 devices simultaneously” from Sony app because that setting disable the LDAC codec
