I run arch and have never tried pirating games on a Linux distro before. Mostly just movies and music but I've run some cracks on my girlfriends windows install so I'm not unfamiliar with it. Would most game cracks run through lutris? Or would I have to download from some place like gog?

I recommend Bottles instead of Lutris, also check out Proton (through steam).

Agreed, bottles is great. You can modify steam's proton instances using it as well (though it's disabled by default)

Do you mean you can force a game in the Linux steam client to run using wine instead of proton? How?

You can probably do that, but i just meant you can easily configure the proton prefixes that steam has made for each game which i found pretty handy at times

Ok thanks, that's pretty neat. I tried enabling that option and updating the runner for the steam game but it didn't do anything. Oh well.

They work just fine. You can either attempt to use the install script Lutris provides you and hope it gives you the option to supply your own files (this is primarily GOG games and source ports) or set up a new game from scratch by selecting the exe file of the installer and later changing it to the game.

You should check ProtonDB even if you aren't using Proton to make sure there's no additional fixes or edits that need to be applied.

If you need help or have questions let me know.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !linuxcracksupport@lemmy.world
