- Frenchgeek 2y agoI use Lutris for that, a bit clunky (especially updating games) but it does work.
- LocutusOfBorges 2y agoHeroic is reasonably seamless - it integrates with GOG and your Steam library, and by extension Proton. Pretty popular among Steam Deck users. https://heroicgameslauncher.com/ https://heroicgameslauncher.com/

- A4ET8a8uTh0 2y agoOh man, I just showed my kid homm3 with HD mod. I dunno what are VM options exist on Mac OS, but it may be the way.
- A4ET8a8uTh0 2y agoSee the other two posts for recommendations, but be aware that neither of the options listed is at the level of experience Steam may have spoiled us with. My last try was 4 or 5 months ago and I ended up just going with a VM.
- righthand 2y agoLutris the popular option. Heroic is another but is a chromium app fyi.
- II2II 2y agoI have heard of alternative game launchers that will take care of launching Windows games (including GOG titles) under Linux. But I usually just end up purchasing Linux games through GOG and Windows games through Steam.
