I don't usually play games nowadays, but on the wave of nostalgia I tried to run my childhood Windows games on Linux. This tutorial is the result of my findings.

A requirement for me is to run games isolated from my Linux host, mostly to protect my files from accidental damage.

I used flatpak to avoid installing 32-bit Wine deps. If you're using a distro that provides a WoW64 build of Wine you can avoid using flatpak and just use bwrap(bubblewrap) for sandboxing, but that left as an exercise for the reader.

Note that I prefer to use command-line tools, this is why I completely ignored all popular game launchers for Linux.
