I currently have a load of pirated games and I’m considering moving my systems to Linux cuz Windows is ass. Would this make it difficult to run pirated games?
You must log in or register to comment.
Some repacks (fitgirl and dodi and sometimes others) occasionally decide not to install ever in any linux system with wine or proton (they’ll crash at some point in the installation), and then you’ll have to install them first in a windows vm and then move them over to linux. It’s not really a rare issue, like 50/50, depends on the repack and its compression settings and just the luck of the day. Games that are already installed which you’re just moving over work perfectly 99% of the time. I recommend lutris.
You could download pre-installed games (e.g. from SteamRIP.net, or Steam Depots from cs.rin.ru)
You can even get uncracked game folders from cs.rin.ru and then crack them yourself (assuming only steam drm) using something like „steam auto cracker“ or whatever that tool is called.
That’s what I meant by “Steam Depots”.
Not at all, I have been running Linux for years now without any issues. Lutris and Heroic Launcher covers all my pirated gaming needs.
Jc141 has a lot of pretty good releases for Linux.

Its not as easy as launching from steam for example, but if you have some basic linux knowledge and the ability to use Google you can get 99% of pirated games running in either bottles or lutris. Search for steam deck specific piracy guides, they largely apply to all linux distros.
Its not as easy as launching from steam
Nonsense! Often adding as a non-steam game and using proton is one of the fastest ways to get up and running!
But yeah, it’s trivial
Actually, it often is that easy. If the game isn’t a repack, you can usually add the EXE to Steam and launch. If you need dependencies, then you can take the extra minute or two to add it to Lutris or Bottles.
