From my experience, I can install several repack without any issues on my Mint install (using wine). If you overwhelmed, the easiest way is to add the .exe of your game as non-steam game through the steam and the proton will handle the rest assuming you won’t find dependency issues, if you stumble across problem try to search protondb for solution.

Personally I run my games with wine because I couldn’t figure out how to make use of bottles and lutris (ye I’m weird).

EDIT: Also you can run your modded games on Linux, so far I have tried modded nfs mw (2005) with hard+, underground2, and new vegas, they are works like on Windows.

If shit happen, rtfm. gl op on your journey!

Woah, thanks for dropping the link. I did disable w10 update by modifying registry for each services which time consuming.

Soldering is probably one of skill that opens up lot of possibility because most of time when dealing with pcbs (most electronic device overall) you have to desolder, replace the component, and solder new part in.

Next step is ID’ing unmarked component and understand datasheet so you know what you’re dealing and how to deal with them.
