The only reason I use Windows is for playing some old games (primarily Age of Empires II: DE) that only work well on Windows. In the AoE2 case, I also need CaptureAge that only works on Windows.

The point is that even though I have 95% de-Microsoftized my life for the past 2 decades, I still need to run Windows for a few specific flows, and I run into the same issues as the article author here.

AoE2 runs great on Linux[1]

CaptureAge does not, however.
I don’t use it myself, but this recently updated gist seems to have it working: https://gist.github.com/Kjir/dadb0a2bc1a71aa265cfdbecaf7569b...
