Hi,

I recently built a new gaming computer and have been contemplating about the OS.

I prefer to move away from windows given obvious reasons and do like using Linux, but my experience with my steam deck has taught me that pirating games in Linux is hit or miss.

I played around with windows LTSC and honestly, seems like windows without the bloatware.

So question is, how is game pirating on Linux (in a desktop, not steam deck).

Is it as smooth as windows or should I just say fuck it and accept that my gaming computer has to stay windows for another generation?

    You can run the same translation layer that Steam uses for your pirated games, compatibility will be similar to what protondb reports.

      Once installed, I think you can often even run the exe of the pirated game through Steam as a “non-steam app” using Proton
