I ain't gonna say it's as easy as Windows but I personally haven't had too much trouble running cracked games using the Lutris launcher.
Lutris also lets you show logs by right click on the game, So if you get an error while playing or loading it gives you something to look up.
Also you can ask for help over at /c/linuxcracksupport@lemmy.world
Welcome to the club!
OMG this actually exists 😀
Thank you. For suggesting the lemmy group. Is there any youtuber for learning linux mint stuff and cracked games Linux stuff?
I don't know about Linux Mint specifically but if you want to learn about Linux in general watch Distrotube, TheLinuxExperiment, TheLinuxCast, Brodie Robertson. And If you really want to go nerdy watch Luke Smith and Mental Outlaw.
Wow these are good youtuber selection. Watching and doing it yourself is easier to learn. Thanks for the suggestions.
Its the same as windows but the amount of OS specific help youll find is lower since less people use it. It helps to figure out which version of linux your distro is based on and look for help with that instead to broaden the results.
For example on my popos station I usually search for Ubuntu help, and on my endeavouros system I would search arch help.
The good thing about linux though is its all the same ideas just packages slightly different, kinda like learning slang.
Start with the terminal, how to open it and where it is, then how to move around the directory (usually CD, with a few modifiers for moving up or down), list directory contents so you can "see" them, and manage it with removing or touching (creating) objects or folders.
Then figure out how to install packages, this should have a mint specific page for it though. Every dostro has a few things they explicitly explain and package mangement is almost always one of them.
They will likely list a few different methods, test each of them out with some apps you planned on installing already, or just find safe test ones to add and remove.
If you have time though you can figure this stuff out as each hurdle appears, rather than speed running them, but this is how I would approach a new linux distro at first.
Also dont be afraid to scrap it and try something else if you decide its not working for you. I ran bazzite for a week before changing to endeavouros and I'm very happy I did.
Edit to add: for crack specific stuff, honestly there doesnt seem to be any sort of segregating the legal and non-legal communities when it comes to linux. Feel free to look or ask in the same places you would ask for legitimate support, but do be careful you dont get into the habit of blindly trusting any script posted in a YouTube video.
Just for future reference, you have the link almost perfect but instead of
/c/use!for communities and@for users. This will link to the intended resource while keeping the user on their instance.So like !linuxcracksupport@lemmy.world for a community or @HouseWolf@lemm.ee for a user. Fwiw I’m on the Test Flight version of Arctic and it now autocompletes as you’re typing those formatted links.
