Linux game torrenting (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I asked this before on reddit, but with the blackout, I can't see what was replied. What are some good sites to use if I wanna pirate games and software on linux. On 1337x there's jc141 but his repacks are a lil weird.

I remember a couple sites were suggested but I can't seem to find them

As a Linux user who lost at least 100 hours of his life wasting time trying to install a thousand different repacks, I suggest you to stay as far away as possible from any windows repack such as Dodi or FitGirl, usually they open but half way through the installation for x or y reason the installation stops and gets corrupted, you can try a thousand times with a thousand different commands and variables and nothing changes.

I suggest you to use "pre-installed" formats, Steamrip is my top 1 page to go to when I want a pirate game on Linux using Wine, and this is because the game already comes pre-installed, you just have to unzip the file and you have it ready to play.

Then, other highly recommended sites are Elamigos and GoG-Games, and if you really want to download repacks you have Torrrminator which personally I have never used.

Someone should create a community about Linux piracy like r/linuxcracksupport, I would do it but I don't know if I have the time and patience to be the mod of a community.

FitGirl installers tend to work if you limit the memory using the checkbox in the installer.

Thank you so much for replying,

I wish I had talked to someone like you when I first started out. After trying to figure out jc141 and failing I went straight to fitgirl, who I use on my windows machine and love sm, and instantly got frustrated by how much it failed.
