Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
As a Linux user there are many Windows games in my library that I can play by importing into Lutris or running with Wine after acquiring the binaries. However Drop currently only let's a Linux client download Linux binaries.

Describe the solution you'd like
A server setting could be added (or maybe a user account setting instead?) to allow the Linux drop clients access to the Windows versions of games.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Ideally, the server operator could package Linux scripts into a separate copy of the game binaries and deploy it as a Linux version - not requiring the Linux user to do anything special. However most server operators may not want to go through this effort, and having extra options to superusers is often desirable.

@DecDuck commented on GitHub (Mar 31, 2026):

If you're on v0.4.0, it'll remind you to install umu-launcher to run Windows games.

On v0.3.x, you'll just have to do it manually. Make sure umu-run is available on your path.
