      It’s a game that messed with the windows on your desktop and opens file dialogs and stuff (as part of the spooks)

      It makes me wonder how it works on the Linux side

        As I understand the screenshots, it looks like it is simulating a windows XP desktop but not opening actual windows or messing with the system

          I think it does that for some parts, but it does close the game out and open up folders for some spooks

        Z:\ is a mount in wine to the rest of your file system

        What problems do you anticipate? Wine, which Proton is just a modified version of, implements file dialogs. If it didn’t, just about every application that isn’t a game would be broken. Needing to open files is pretty ubiquitous, after all. You need file dialogs for that.

          Well part of what it does is grab your actual desktop background to use, and there’s a couple different ways to do that on Linux afaik

          Also I guess the file dialogs would open only to the wine prefix? My experience with wine applications and dialogs is mostly through bottles, so I’m not sure of the sandboxing…
