I run arch and have never tried pirating games on a Linux distro before. Mostly just movies and music but I’ve run some cracks on my girlfriends windows install so I’m not unfamiliar with it. Would most game cracks run through lutris? Or would I have to download from some place like gog?

not OP but nice guide. thanks man
Ive only done a handful in linux. mostly i use repacked gog stuff cuz its easy and i don’t have to deal with cracks. so easy that sometimes i end up legit buying to support the devs if the game is good.
lot of the time i also use firejail. haven’t run into many issues with it so far (i think there was one game where i disallowed net access but it wouldnt run until i granted it) and most stuff works same as without.

I’ve heard a few people mention bubblewrap but never really looked into it. might have to read up and give it a try. do you think it’s pretty easy to pick up coming from firejail?

Just curious, are there any native cracks for Linux? As in, for ports of games done by Feral Interactive, Aspyr, etc

I didn’t know that Goldberg’s Steam emulator worked on non-DLL Steamworks implementations. Thanks!
I recommend Bottles instead of Lutris, also check out Proton (through steam).
Agreed, bottles is great. You can modify steam’s proton instances using it as well (though it’s disabled by default)
Do you mean you can force a game in the Linux steam client to run using wine instead of proton? How?

You can probably do that, but i just meant you can easily configure the proton prefixes that steam has made for each game which i found pretty handy at times
Ok thanks, that’s pretty neat. I tried enabling that option and updating the runner for the steam game but it didn’t do anything. Oh well.
They work just fine. You can either attempt to use the install script Lutris provides you and hope it gives you the option to supply your own files (this is primarily GOG games and source ports) or set up a new game from scratch by selecting the exe file of the installer and later changing it to the game.
You should check ProtonDB even if you aren’t using Proton to make sure there’s no additional fixes or edits that need to be applied.
If you need help or have questions let me know.
