    Its not exactly easy on linux either at least for average users like me, unless you are lucky to find a lutris script specifically for the CD install.

    at least in my experience.

      @A_Random_Idiot well for example Alpha Centauri and even Civ 2 were really easy for me. I used wine without any wrappers, I simply set an older Windows compatibility version in winecfg. StarCraft also worked easily though I wasn’t able to set it to full screen properly on Wayland and had to re-login into Xorg for it. Let’s see if OP provides us with more details

        last time I tried it was Simcity 4, and I couldnt get it to install right.

        But I’m not an IT/SysAdmin professional. I’m just a random idiot, so my capabilities with linux… while improving over the years, are still far from useful in most circumstances.
