Problem description

GOG games usually offer a Linux installer, but some of them only come with the Windows version of DOSBox (such as Warcraft), which Heroic tries to run through WINE. This is pretty inconvenient.

Feature description

DOS games should be able to run natively, since DOSBox is available as a package for most distros. GOG DOS games usually come with the required configuration ready for this.

Alternatives

No response

Additional information

This can be done on Steam by installing Boxtron. Instead of running Windows DOSBox through Proton, Boxtron allows Steam to launch the native version of DOSBox.
