I really enjoy Linux but I find myself having to keep Windows partitions around for software that specifically requires Windows.

Proton makes everything easier by automatically running game files through a translation layer, and it “just works” quite well most of the time.

Also VanillaOS can apparently auto-spin a container when you try to open a .deb or AUR package (this is my rudimentary understanding).

Setting up WINE/Bottles, etc. is above my pay grade.

Is it not possible to create an OS that just does the same thing as Steam but for the entire OS?

    You didn’t get bitched out.

    I was accused of “bitching and moaning” because I was presented with a solution that didn’t answer the actual question I asked and I declined.

    What would you call that?

    You’re asking strangers for help dude.

    No I’m not. I asked a very specific question and people keep trying to throw long-winded time-consuming solutions at me instead of actually answering it.

    Several other people did actually answer the question though.

    Nobody owes you anything.

    That’s great because I’m not asking for anything.

    I did, however, learn a valuable lesson though: Don’t ask questions in a Linux community, because the answer is always the same: “just figure it out, in the most complex manner possible, or go fuck yourself”.
