That’s great and all, but can I still pirate games on Linux? (Don’t judge me)
Yeah just add the game as a non steam game to steam and click play.
It's better I fact. There's a lot less worry about installing a virus.
(Not so) fun fact, a lot of Windows viruses work under Wine on Linux. If you have ransomware bundled with your pirated media, it will likely also encrypt your Linux files.
Use Bottles as a Flatpak, isolate all your applications from each other and from your host system.
Actually, no. Windows viruses can work well in wine. You still have to be careful in that regard.
