I would have used it to run Macromedia Director 7 but had to resort to running Windows 98 through UTM (qemu) because I'm on an M1 Mac.

Back in the day, I used it to run Halo: Combat Evolved for PC on my Ubuntu installation. Now I have no need for this, but Wine improved over the years to a point where the game actually ran pretty well. Apparently the 1.0.10 patch for the game from 2014 now has a Gold rating on WineHQ.

Master Chief Collection works extremely well on Linux. Only issue is anti-cheat...

Whoa, it does? I've played it on my M1 Mac using Parallels and it worked pretty well. That's amazing that it can even be run on Linux.
