I have a couple games that were Windows 98 and Windows XP games that don’t work on Windows 10/11, but work just fine on Linux. It’s funny that Linux is sometimes better at running Windows games than Windows is.

Wine and Proton manage to be better at both forward and backward compatibility with Windows than actual Windows.
