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?

    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.

      Even if the game is a repack, you can add the installer EXE to Steam and it’ll run with Proton Experimental or GE, choose the install location, then add the resulting, unpacked EXE to Steam and it’ll run just fine.

        I meant to say, if a game doesn’t require dependencies, adding it through Steam is easier. You can still do that if it does, but installing dependencies like .NET is slightly easier with Lutris or Bottles.
