You seem to have missed this part of the comment you replied to:

Personally I stopped using Windows for gaming because it literally doesn't work anymore. I installed Windows 11 on my gaming VM and DLSS and FSR were just completely broken, didn't work at all. Couldn't figure it out. Switched to Linux (Bazzite for now) and I have no regrets; the only games that don't work are the dangerous time-wasters (live service games with invasive anti-cheat) that I have less and less time for as I age.

Windows itself is a bunch of hacks, too, so if you think Wine is the same, then it surely looks like a very accurate emulation.

I think very few software can be considered _not_ a bunch of hacks, especially in the age of vibe coded electron apps.

You're saying the opposite of what the person you think you're agreeing with is.
