All from gog.com either using launcher or standalone because all games
there are drm-free and you own them so they just work. Steam shoot
itself in a foot with that nasty launcher that blocks almost
everything. Saying that most of wine 11 work seems to come from Valve
;-)

Hardware 3D acceleration is not there.. not even framebuffer / direct
display. If that worked that would be a great benefit over
VirtualBox.. and some sort of gui vm manager here would be also nice
to have as in vbox :-)
