In your 2nd screenshot, there's a box with a red outline. What does the text in it say?

Well, the one way would be to stream it. But you can't play it natively on Linux/macOS

- Choose your preferred game streaming platform (GeForce Now has a free tier IIRC) - Stream the game from there

sorry but what do you mean by streaming? sorry but I'm not good with computers

Well, instead of running the game locally, its ran on your streaming provider's servers. They then just send you the image & sound (while you send them your input) The good thing here is that you can do it from basically any device, but you'll of course need a decent internet connection
