An edit of xkcd 2501, “Average Familiarity”:
[Ponytail and Cueball are talking. Ponytail has her hand raised, palm up, towards Cueball.]
Ponytail: Open-source alternatives are second nature to us foss nerds, so it’s easy to forget that the average person probably only knows Linux and one or two degoogled Android ROMs.
Cueball: And Firefox, of course.
Ponytail: Of course.
[Caption below the panel]
Even when they’re trying to compensate for it, experts in anything wildly overestimate the average person’s familiarity with their field.
partly inspired by the replies to this post but i see this kind of thing all the time (shoutout to the person who once genuinely asked “who still uses google these days?”)
made with this neat tool
It could be worth trying to run it using Proton instead of just stock WINE. Obviously no guarantee it would work but there’s a lot that’s been put into the Proton project to make games work better and something like a custom cursor seems in the realm.

I’d try it in the umu launcher project.
I did try running it through Steam, but I’ll give umu a try as well.
