  • You probably shouldn’t be using an arch based distro if you want a user friendly experience.

    I know there are things like manjaro and even endeavor os that are “arch but easy” but honestly I cannot in good faith recommend anything arch based for ease of use. Arch is a very fast moving distribution that usually has the newest packages but that isn’t always good. There will eventually be a problem come up, maybe not often and maybe not that serious but in my personal opinion it’s not worth it.

    If you are wanting consistent ease of use and access to a lot of packages it’s hard to beat the mainstream distros. Mint, Ubuntu, Fedora, (personal favorite) etc… and if you need something from arch repositories just use distrobox. You get access to all arch packages without the headache.

    Play on linux is extremely old at this point and isn’t really updated.

    I understand that it was a tool that worked well for you in the past and you could probably get it working with the right dependencies but if I am being honest. It’s not worth it.

    Wine has improved drastically in the last few years and with that a lot of new apps have come around.

    My personal favorite is bottles as it is very easy to use and works well for both games and applications.

    Another option is lutris but it’s a lot more oriented towards games than applications.

    I hope I was of some help and good luck
