FWIW, I’ve only ever played grim dawn on Linux via proton.

Never played it but screenshot makes me think of Diablo II. I miss that game. I think it was the first game that made me feel like my trackball was the superior choice (to a mouse).
Game requires spyware (Windows) to play on a computer, but somewhat ironically, I have an Xbox, so I could play it there. (Also have a PS3 and a Switch.) Gameplay trailer on their website makes it look more like an action game than an RPG though. Either way it looks like a bit of fun.

Nowadays there’s Diablo 2 Resurrected which runs fine under Linux using Proton.
Also, there is a long running community mod (since 2016) for Grim Dawn called Reign of Terror which tries to replicate the D2 feeling in Grim Dawn - just be aware that although it already has been updated to work with the new expansion, there might currently be some unexpected issues around.

Which game requires Windows to run? I run diablo 2 ( resurrected) on Linux.
I’ve run it through battle.net ( over steam ) and you can buy I directly through steam as well. You’d need to link your steam account to your battlenet, but it works fine.
Unless you mean grim dawn. I haven’t tried that one on Linux, but protondb claims it’s platinum.

I was looking for d2 experience but alas this game presented zero challenge for higher difficulty modes. Only 2 opponents are giving trouble - those gods, and mostly cause they heal themselves faster than I damage.
Kind of sad given how d2 challenges you from nightmare right away.

I play Diablo II Resurrected on a regular basis. I’m on Fedora.
Installation procedure was pretty simple.
Running Lutris, use the installation instructions for the BattleNet launcher.
Once you get that set up, log in like normal and install D2R through the launcher. Once installed, you can create a shortcut to launch D2R by duplicating battlenet and changing the exe to the newly installed D2R and add launch options to log in straight to your account without the launcher.
