Pick Boxedwine if…
Boxedwine may suit people who need to run 16-bit or 32-bit Windows applications on a listed desktop platform or in a browser. The web version's storage behaviour and large-file loading caveats matter to anyone using it for browser-based sessions.
Pick Proton Trainer Launcher if…
This launcher is for Linux users who run Steam games through Proton and want to use Windows game trainers. It is not suited to native Linux games.
