Don't use Wine directly, just use launcher UIs, such as Steam for Steam store games and Heroic Launcher or Lutris for games not from the Steam store.

You do need Wine installed, but if you use launchers you don't actually need to figure Wine out or manage it to install and run the vast majority of games unless you're doing unusual stuff like running pirated games.

Much appreciated! This helps give me more confidence to move to Linux :) :)

I picked up a separate SSD to install linux on so I can dual boot for the moment if needed, and then eventually recover my windows drive and turn it into extra storage for my linux drive.
