My computer literally killed itself when I tried to run a Wine app and a Steam game at the same time (sh.itjust.works)

one thing i hate about running games with WINE is that sometimes i switch virtual desktop while playing then the game is unresponsive when i come back

I've had that on mint but when I switched to arch with Wayland kde it stopped happening. I also had issues where if my display goes to sleep game will freeze.

I'm using Mint and have no trouble. Switched desktops to play a movie, came back to the game later and it worked fine.

Interesting. It didn't always do it with switching desktops. Only sometimes but it was guaranteed to happen if my monitor went to sleep

I had the same issue when using a touchpad (on Wayland) and when I tried wine-staging-9.0-rc4 it worked without any issues anymore. Both using the wayland and x11 graphics backend.

try running them in gamescope, eliminates a lot of that type of problem
