Fixes for common issues and Recommendations

Recommendations:

1. Use one Wine prefix for one game

This helps organize your changes/workarounds for each game, as installing something that fixes one game might break another

2. Install DXVK

While Wine's own Direct3D implementations are passable, they're not really that fast. DXVK translates Direct3D API calls to Vulkan for a smooth playing experience.

To install it, download the latest release from here, set your WINEPREFIX environment variable and run /path/to/dxvk-1.9/setup_dxvk.sh install

3. Try the Virtual Desktop feature

Inside winecfg -> "Graphics", there's a feature to emulate a virtual desktop. This fixes a lot of issues related to alt-tabbing and games losing focus.

Tip: If you set the Virtual Desktop resolution to your monitor's native resolution, Wine will run in Fullscreen, meaning as long as your games are also Fullscreen, you won't even notice it's there!
