besides wine, what do you need to run non-steam games? (lemmy.ml)

From my understanding, at least one other necessary component is dxvk, and that wine is not enough.

If I dont use lutris or some other manager, how can I game on linux? do I have to configure dxvk? do I need soemthing else too? vulkan?

Is there a guide that explains it?

I made a guide a while back explaining everything. It's easier than it looks, you'll just use a manager like Lutris or Heroic and download the newest version of Wine-GE, then your games should work.
