I have decided to switch to Linux Mint from windows. I don’t use computer for work that much. And for my personal use I’m switching to Linux Mint. I have heard a lot about it. So giving it a try. I know about emulating windows in linux to play window games. But how do you use cracks and stuff?? Does emulating also access my 100% graphics card or less? I want to know about all these. Please people in my condition help. Thanks in advance :)

    I just switched my gaming computer over to Nobara yesterday and got all of my gog and non DRM games running in Lutris very easily. Two I had issues with were Warframe and the Plutonium launcher, Both ended up having lutris setup scripts that fixed my problem. Also wine/proton is not emulation so it does not have the same overhead, It will use your full GPU as windows would.

        Yes, they were saying that as a good thing. If it were run through an emulator it likely would be done on the CPU and not use your GPU. Wine/Proton will use it properly.
