Exactly what I was wondering. I main Linux since 2019. A buddy of mine sent me a unity demo game that he made ( basically a hello world ). I just did
wine hello-world.exe
and it ran just fine ( auto downloaded .net runtimes and everything ).I don't expect everything to run flawlessly, but wine has come a long way. Especially with valve support and investment into proton for gaming.
