Lots of PCs are poised to fall off the Windows 10 update cliff one year from today
Windows 10 is by far the most-used version of Windows, and support ends soon.

Recently decided to try Linux for gaming. It wasn’t without a hitch or two, but largely fine. A number of games I play don’t even need an emulation tool like Proton.
The only reason windows was lying around was for gaming.
Looks like it’ll only get used for flight simulation.
Haven’t. Will check it out! Thanks.
Not a lot of updates in 2024 unfortunately. Is it dead?
It is not. It is open source, there will be updates when there will be updates, they are not pressured by board of directors to release something that doesn't work.
I suggest checking the discord for more information, including endless stream of screenshots, to get an idea about state of the project.
I have edited the comment above to add link

This random git repo I picked from their source forge page seems to have some pretty recent commits. I'm guessing they just have a slow release cycle.
X-plane natively supports Linux, works using proton too.
I’d stoped flying x plane when MSFS came out. Will give it a whirl too.
Same here but for sim racing
Barring Gamefreaks games, most of the popular racing games do not support Linux well. Forza 4/5, Asseto Corsa, iRacing, Crew.
Wine Is Not an Emulator
(Proton is wine)
Proton uses Wine along with many other technologies
Yes, it's also not an emulator.
