Moving to Linux soon, and wondering how pirated games work with it. I know about proton with steam and lutris for most bought games, but how would I run pirated windows games over there?

    Hmm, doesn't installing without a config require to do everything manually or do things like the .NET installer actually work within the Wine container?

      Nope everything usually just works, wine-mono takes care of .NET stuff. Take a look at the optional dependencies for wine (archlinux example), many of those lib32 libraries may be needed.

      Cutting edge game-specific fixes that are not yet on normal system wine (especially for a stable distribution with an older wine package) might be on wine-ge that you can install from Lutris, and optionally use for a game or set as the default runner for all new games.

        Interessting, I guess I just hit a edge case with my first game then, Fedora isn't always as up to date as it gets but it's usually up to date enough and the game I tried is actually over a year old.
