Why it takes almost 1GB of disk space to install WINE? I am very hesitating to install WINE, this is the main reason.

Because it's re-implementing a large portion of Windows. Even without the unnecessary Microsoft bloat, it's still a lot of code, libraries, etc. Honestly 1GB of disk space is nothing nowadays compared to some modern triple-A games that can take 100-200GBs of space per game.

Is the wishlist for 7.0 open yet?

1. Native Wayland support
2. Usage of casefolding on supported and enabled filesystems
3. Direct Pipewire in- and output

Here is a list of compositors that are able to do that:

The best workaround I can think of for now is to decrease your screen resolution while playing old games.

Someone could write a tool that does this automatically depending on the currently focused window or active process.

I am thinking how hard it would be to add this feature in wine. Shouldn't be hard if only shoot for X11...

I really need the feature of running legacy Win32 games on HiDPI screen. Currently they are just too small because Wine can't scale the window properly. Scaling fonts in winecfg doesn't work for games, and using VNC or xpra to workaround is a pain in the ass.

compiz could do that + you could deactivate zoom follows mouse courser, always played D2 that way back in the days

so madvr is support now ?

Just use a WM that can do scaling or zoom.

Sorry but can KWin do that? I set scaling factor to be 200% in KDE systemsettings but it doesn't scale wine program (other programs are all good)
