Do they have to be installed in the default .wine folder and c:? I’d prefer to install big games using wine on another drive if possible as space is linited on my home drive.

Edit: Solved. All good to install anywhere, thanks!

    Oh, so I don’t even need to launch with Wine necessarily? Like I noticed Heroic has an install game option, so I could change the Heroic directory to, say, /mnt/drive2/Games on my other drive, and run the game .exe from the Heroic installer?

      Yup. Same with any other as well. If you don’t want to use Steam, I think a lot of people find Lutris and Heroic simple.and functional for all levels of user, and they also include the ability to run Steam Runtimes and Proton versions pretty simply too.

      All of these launchers run Wine under the hood, and are a good abstraction on top of that entire stack. Just makes it super simple to manage.
