Whoa. I didn’t know this was a thing! Windows live CD! That’s awesome. Thank you for this! I managed to get MMtools working with wine. But definitely gonna try a few things with this since I’m getting some security verification failures with the modified bios 👀

I don't understand why linux doesn't get all the love patches like Windows.

Linux, thanks to steam, is better at gaming than windows, esecially for older games. Proton ftw

Love Steam for that. That reminds me… gotta get me a Steam Deck!
