For those who are wondering, yes, Wine is malware compatible so be careful about the EXEs you run!

Valve developed a specialised version

That sounds pretty nice. I'll take a look at that.

Lutris is an app that does that but for installing games without using Steam.)

So for example if I want a non steam game like Minecraft I'd go through Lutris but beyond that I'd use steam?

Broadly yes. In the case of Minecraft I think at least one version is just made for Linux though so probably best to just follow the official instructions for installing it. But any game that's made for Windows you're best bet is to install it from either Steam or Lutris in the first instance.
