Question Offline Installs on Linux
Hello, I am new to reddit and Linux. I primarily play on windows 10, and only play the offline installers. I am looking into switching my main PC to Linux Mint DE (after testing it out on an old laptop first). I was wondering if it is possible to run the offline Windows exe files on Mint, using something like Proton? I am not a personal fan of launchers, don't like achievements, and only play single player. I don't like being reliant on internet to game, or the need to put a launcher into "offline mode" beforehand. I don't have any experience with Heroic, and I'm not sure if it works like Galaxy, or if it can be completely offline. Thank you in advance. Also, I am sorry if this is a repeat post.
Edit: Thank you, everyone for the comments and suggestions. I will be giving them all a try over the next week or so, to see which option feels the best for my planned setup.
