I love valve, but I'm not sure I'm comfortable turning them into such a key way to get software on Linux

Ah yes, windows users googling drivers, that *never* caused them to accidentally download a virus, right?

I'm not entirely sure that that's how it works, cause if it is my GOG copy of hollow knight has quite a lot more DRM than is normally accepted of that platform by their users

Legitimately don't remember the last time I *had* to use a terminal to install a program in linux, I pretty much just click to install everything using KDE's Discover store, except for things I download off github which often come as appimages which are practically the same as windows executables in terms of ease of use

>any civ 1-6 all run perfectly
Can you give more detail on this? Specifically how if you have any experience getting civ 2 to run? The only way ive managed to get it to run any time in the past few years was through a win 3.11 VM (even modern windows)
Actually more importantly I want destiny of the doctors working (a win 95 game) but I've had no luck so far

Same here, I haven't used a default wallpaper for more than a few minutes since the xp days

I put xfce on a garbage laptop for my parents (who are used to much older windows) and they loved it, the laptop ended up breaking eventually but that was a hardware issue and they regularly ask me when I'll be able to replace it
@TrustingZebra
Iirc windows can open archives without an external program now, even tarballs, so that's something...
Not that I plan on using modern versions of windows if I can help it, but still
