playonlinux that's something i havent heard in a long time. i should mention that i was using linux on laptops, and when i said 'switched' i meant on my desktop. i couldn't do what you did though. i was debating on switching my desktop to linux mint in 2013/2014 but never did. i dabbled it with old laptops and left it there.
I’ve always been kinda protective of my video games and how they run. And I don’t like windows cd keys. When windows 8 came out I was like “I’m just going to learn to use Linux cause this is just going to get worse”. I worked in IT at my college and one of the tech dudes showed me mint
I still have windows on my desktop. I play a lot of online games with my friends will probably keep it cause I don’t want to miss out cause of this. I also wanted hdr and all the fun stuff
But I just think it’s crazy how good wine was even back then
