RIGGGGGHT.
Guessing demographics, have to wait for Boomers and Gen-X to croak.
You're supposed to fall in love with and be fully dependent on The Machine.

For WinG, there's a "Its pretty much dead Jim" component from the WINE project, called WINEVDM
https://github.com/otya128/win...
You can use it to run win16 applications on modern windows. (with lots of warts. Caveat emptor)
It can also run win16 applications inside WINE. (same caveats apply)
For old DX versions, I'd suggest stringing DGVoodoo2 together with VKD3D in a proton container. Essentially wraps those old APIs over DX12, which is provided by VKD3D over Vulkan, and has quite a few options you can fiddle with about color depth support reporting, and options to force upscale (useful for those 640x480@8bit DX5 games, since modern monitors dont like those legacy modes).
Bonus, is that it also functions as a glide wrapper.
You can do this right now.
Use DGVoodoo2 with VKD3D.

VKD3D provides DX11 and DX12 over Vulkan.
DGVoodoo2 wraps DX1 through DX9 over DX12 api. (which will functionally pipe it through Vulkan on Linux)
Your wine / proton prefix will need to be set to use native DLLs, but it totally works.
Waiting for someone to create a 'LaCie Joule Drive'-like tower where you can just plug in Mac Minis, one after the other.
Three more payments and this 10 year old couch is OURS!
Boss, Boss, duh cloud, duh cloud!
I thought Macs were just toys running a toy OS and only useful for folks looking to enterain themselves instead of real tough serious business machines that are designed for work and not games?
Better than bathing in blood, I guess.
Think of it! With VLSI we can pack 100 ENIACs in 1 sq. cm.!
