How do you guys pirate Linux games?

Do you guys download from poorly seeded and rare Linux game torrents? Linux Flatpaks? Or do you download windows games and run them in Wine/DXVK? Run them in virtual machine with GPU pass-through?

I just buy them on steam....
I'm too old for pirating.

Never quite understood how to do that.
>>846
Yeah, it's not really worth for me either, things like movies, tv series, manga, books and anime makes more sense to pirate.

For GPU passthrough you need two different GPUs. You need to disable one from your main OS, so it doesn't have access to both, and in the VM pass through the PCI slot with the GPU.

Actually Valve a couple of months ago has allowed you to run nonsteam games using Proton (A combination of Wine/DXVK already set up to work together).

>The built-in Windows compatibility layer, Proton, can now be used on any Windows game via Steam whether purchased through Valve’s all-pervasive digital platform or not.
Essentially you just add the path to the executable, as you would normally do, and as long you have it in your steam settings to run non-white listed games with Proton, it should work.

You can check compatibility here if you are curious what will and will not work

Well Lutris has a feature like this already built in. It's DXVK, but essentially the same thing

In fact I already tried it with Stalker and it worked really wel.
It wasn't so good with Neir Automata, but that might have been the fault of my old GPU

Rutrackr has a good linux section. The downside, of course, being the threads are in russian. But most games are available in english.
