So I’m install Manjaro for a friend and it’s the first time he uses a Linux distribution, but he still needs a couple of Windows applications so I was wondering if anyone could recommend me an easy to use GUI to install .exes (not for video games, but for applications) so that he can install them without too much hassle. If not, what’s the next easiest way to do it? Can you link me to some tutorial?

    Lutris and PlayOnLinux are quiet simple to use but I have been using as main OS for a few years now. So this reply maybe biased.

    I recommend Steam though (sounds strange, right!) I add executables as “non-steam game” and set proton in the properties. It will run the exe under the given proton build. Note: there is a bug that happens when adding a non-steam executable to steam. If there is any space in the path, it will add the path till the space. Just edit properties to add the file again. It will add complete path. Just open the properties for the added item to see what I mean.
