    I don’t play any of these particular games but I have other software that doesn’t run on Linux without considerable effort.

    Anything that isn’t a game can typically be run on a virtual machine.

      So, the software that runs the features on my mouse and headset run on a VM. Then I play the games in the base OS with those features like software driven surround sound?

      This is actually similar to the situation I came across with my friend. “Everything works 100% it’s crazy!” Sweet! How’d you get the customisable mouse buttons working? (He has the same mouse as me) “There are extra mouse buttons? Oh, there are! I never noticed. No, they don’t work anymore”. 😑

        Of course they work just disassemble the Windows exe and find the addresses and break free from bloat

        So it’s not software that doesn’t work but hardware that’s weird then? Sure, makes sense.

        Next time you buy hardware look it up. Once you’re on stuff that’ll work in Linux you should be able to jump over easily then.
