And if you know where to search, there is a Wine repack for Linux. I tested it on Debian testing -- works.

I don't understand why I would need that. Can't you just run any release through a normally installed version of wine?

In most cases -- no. Wine is far from being a reliable tool. Many programs demand this or that patch for Wine to work. And you surely don't want to tinker with that.

Weird. I have yet to encounter a game that wine-ge couldn't handle out of the box.

wine-ge is patched wine which includes many patches proton has that make games work (well).

Also, the developer of wine-ge no longer has their focus on it, because UMU [1] makes it possible to use proton(-ge) directly. UMU is already included in Lutris, Bottles & Co., or you can use it standalone [1].

I have an old Win95 game that isn't working very well but that doesn't run on modern windows either
