Available for providing help running old games on Linux. More so than newer ones, (though I can try, have you seen some of this stuff they churn out lately?) Thank goodness, stuff like wine and proton have done a lot more heavy lifting as of late eh?#Linux4You #LinuxGaming #RetroGaming

@GamingWolf One of the things that won me over to Linux initially was the ability to run Win16 games through Wine, though there's a compatibility later for modern Windows that I've discovered as well

    @rootcompute Wait. This is the first I'm hearing of this, maybe cause I haven't run 16 bit windows games in a long time. That just works?

    @GamingWolf If you mean Linux, I think it has to be an older version of Wine? I got them working using the PlayonLinux frontendIf you mean Windows, this: github.com/otya128/winevdm
