Feature Request

I confirm:

• that I haven't found another request for this feature.
• that I have checked whether there are updates for my system available that
  contain this feature already.

Description

It may be good to have option to force Proton on Windows host.

Justification [optional]

There is a lot of old titles that work incorrectly on modern Windows, e.g. 10.

I was under the impression that (official) wine does work on Windows. Has that changed recently?

[yurikoles]

Yes, it does work.

Question:

Do you have any source which confirms that somehow, Wine actually makes these games work better than using the default compatibility mode?

Dual boot to Linux then in the meantime.

Another way of going about it is to get the older Windows and install that to a vm making Wine/Proton unnecessary. Its a different point if Steam cannot be installed to the OS though.
