What a fuckin lie. Can't play some Windows 7 games on Windows 10 or above but on Linux it works.

it entirely depends. i installed an abandonware game from 2003 the other day, worked perfectly fine once i installed the patch and no cd crack. that being said, it's very common for older games to be nowhere near as stable.
