Simple and straight forward app is Bottles, get it on your app store. I was trying to get Farming Simulator 2013 installed and it "just wouldn't install" under lutris so I tried bottles and it worked, just worked. My only issue now is mounting non .iso iso like .ccd .img and one more I can't remember now.

EDIT: Anyone used CDemu to mount .img or .ccd? Does it work? what about converting these files to .iso with ccd2iso or acetoneiso?

    If the .img file does not contain partition table info, it should just be a matter of mounting:

    sudo mkdir -p /mnt/img
sudo mount -o loop path/to/file.img /mnt/img

    The only time that becomes a problem normally is if its like a partitioned SD card (had a netbook I booted from SD card before and that happened).

    I will try that for the .imgs, how about .ccd, bin/cue and iirc .mkv? These images were obtained over two decades ago and have been transferred a few times, certain 1meg/Xkb files may have been lost. Daemon tools and later power iso used to mount these files no prob but I destroyed my windows a while back and am not going back regardless of what I lose as I gained more

    bchunk can do conversion to build these all out as .iso files. I think cdemu, given your mention of Daemon Tools, is a better option though as its effectively doing the same thing DT did. It would load the image to /dev/sr0 (the CD/DVD device) which you would then just run the previous mount command to bring up: sudo mount /dev/sr0 /mnt/cd

    I think you mean MDF/MDS instead of MKV (I haven't seen those in like 20 years - but I think that's what you mean). That was the old Alcohol 120% proprietary format. I don't think any tools directly work with that extension, you'd have to convert those .iso first.
