Dealing with games that just won't run on Linux (self.linux_gaming)

How are people coping with games that just won't run on Linux (aside from leaving them behind)? Do you dual boot Windows? Virtualize? What's your strategy for this?

This will be extremely rare for me since I don't play a lot of competitive stuff, but I'd love to find a solution. I have a large library, and it's bound to happen from time to time.

For my sins, I do dual boot Windows 10. Though with wine and proton I reckon I can get ~80-90% of games to work.

I'd love to go 100% Linux, and I do my best to only buy games that support Linux. But there are sadly some old games and multiplayer games with friends that I still can't quite convince to work.
