There's a flatpak called Bottles that does a pretty decent job of setting up a containerized Windows /WINE environment, if you have some program or game you can't get to work quite right by chucking it into Lutris or Steam.

I mostly use it for dev tools that only barely technically support linux, or just don't at all.
