You'd need to rely on Wine, though not every game is assured to work properly or function at all.

You can try using WINE to emulate Windows games on Linux, but it’s not always the most reliable method. For GPU tasks, level 1 techs often rely on dedicated tutorials for better performance.

For certain games wine could function perfectly, yet most encountered issues required trial and error to launch the first time. Could it be the incorrect packages or settings? Installing Windows in a VM helps run Linux programs quietly, lowering the number of Windows apps but still requiring its installation and managing drivers—a challenge that doesn’t always resolve. I’m also worried my CPU might be limiting performance in this configuration.

The CPU must handle the pass-through feature initially. Unless you have an 8-core processor, performance will drop significantly, which is why many users opt for dual booting into Windows.

I see why you’re wary of Windows updates—they can be frustrating. Using Windows isn’t appealing either. Visualization won’t fix your issues; it might just make them more complicated. The top choice for running Wine would be Arch Linux because it offers the newest software, though it can cause problems.
