Yeah I realised the only games I cant play on linux are the ones that really don’t respect my privacy/time/wallet so it ended up a net benefit

    I had my first issue since switching just yesterday (I've been switched for a couple of months).

    I wanted to run some mod installers for the old Kotor games but they're .exe files.

    Only stuff I could get working was manual file-replacements and steam workshop mods.

    You should be able to use those mod installers by running them with wine within the wine prefix Kotor is installed in surely?

    Not sure about wine. Haven't used it since like 2016.

    I'm running all my games in steam with proton. Not sure if that's connected at all.
