Windows gaming on Linux

[Boyling460]

I was wondering if it were possible to run all Windows games through Linux if you have Windows installed already.
If so, could you please link me to a web page explaining this.
I know about Wine and all the similar programs but I hear there is a performance decrease when in use and that not all games and programs work.

No, you (mostly) can't do that.

Robolinux is really well optimized for things like Oracle Virtual Machine and similar windows emulation and will practically run it like a native program if you have a copy of windows installed. I'd give it a try, it's been a while,but it's one of the best ones for using windows programs on Linux I've used.

Really? That's a shame.

Do you recommend I just dual boot and use Linux (I've decided on Manjaro) as a casual thing and use Windows for gaming?

That looks pretty good!
Could I get that to work with Manjaro?

Yes.
Any emulator or API between Linux and a Windows game won't be faster than native Windows.

I'm not sure, they only have downloads for ubuntu, linux mint and opensuse. I know manjaro is similar to arch so you can pretty much use anything from whichever distro as long as you install the package managers,resources,etc.
