    GoG install scripts are actually community-submitted and not actively maintained. You might have some luck with Lutris or WINE. Sometimes, Bottles or even PlayOnLinux are compatible. WINE actually lets you emulate older editions of Windows for PC games. Sometimes, all you have to do is switch the toggle from ‘Win7’ to ‘Win95’, and it works.

    It’s a headache, and a loooot of googling, trying to get games to run. But with Proton’s introduction, it’s gotten a lot easier to get things to run without pulling out wads of hair.

    But you’re right, if the app is non-native? Have fun breaking out the thumbscrews, because ya better like pain. 😂

      Not a bad set of promising suggestions… Thanks!

      And yeah, I’ve found Proton to be invaluable for making things soooo much easier, but if a game doesn’t have a page, it’s not as easy. Lol.
