Think most people just use ROM as a catch all for “console video game format” these days.
As a Librewolf user I wouldn’t make it default for casual users this kind of distro is aiming for. Sure enabling logins to use it as a main browser is piss easy, but that’s still more work than the average person wants to put into setting up their system.
Waterfox would be the better choice since it’s just default Firefox in every way besides Mozilla’s spyware.
Heavily depends on the game and how the patches are installed.
If the patch comes as an exe, on Lutris next to the Play button you’ll find a wine glass icon with a menu next to it, you can use ‘Run EXE inside Wine prefix’ to run the patch installer and I’ve had it work most of the time. Sometimes you’ll need a .NET dependency which you can install through Winetricks using the same menu.
A lot of patches for older games require DLL files which you have to manually declare in Wine, One again in that Wine glass menu you’ll fine ‘Wine Configuration’ and in the Libraries tab of that, you declare what DLLs you need to “override”.
I don’t play either of those games you mentioned but I mainly play and mod older games these days and had pretty good luck running 95% of them through Lutris. You just sometimes have to find workarounds.
