I often play old games that have compatibility issues with windows 10. Most recently FEAR required a .dll from a site for a stable framerate.

People keep saying "gaming works" on Linux but are they talking about modern games? Do old games "just work?" I have very little free time to fart about with fixing too many issues with an old game. How well does this stuff work?

As long as the game isn't a title thats using something bleeding edge, it will work day one. And as long as the game isn't using an non proton compatible anti-cheat, it should work. Unless said devs arbitrarily decided not to tick the "proton compatible" box cause of some hard-headed bullshit.
