I look forward to my Steam friends being notified I'm playing Office Professional 2019.

I've been very impressed with what I've used so far. Most recently I've had an unofficially supported game (Skyrim) successfully query my hardware and accurately set the graphics settings.

Same here. Skyrim already runs perfectly for quite a while, and now the ability to circumvent native clients changes a lot again.

In my case there's a game where the Linux version always crashes after about 30 minutes, and I hope it'll run smooth enough with Proton.

Damn. I can't even get the game to run right in Windows. It's got that physics glitch where it can't make it past the gate in the intro.

There are several mods that address this issue (last but not least LAL).

LAL?

I feel like the last time I tried to fix this I discovered the mod to fix it was only for the 'Special Edition' or something which I didn't have.

I use Discord for communicating with some friends and coworkers and specifically set it up so it's only aware of one very old text adventure and will only tell people if I'm playing that.

Well google sheets is basically multiplayer excel at this stage

But where's the flight simulator mode?

Skyrim has worked via wine pretty much since it was released, as you can confirm on Wine AppDb here: https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?bShowAll=true&bIs...

Makes sense, considering how long the game engine’s been around.

Crossover office has been the key product for helping with that.
