Anybody know how to play pirated Windows games on Linux? I recently installed Lubuntu (22.04.2 Jammy Jellyfish) on my ancient laptop and all the guides I can find and trying out Lutris only seem to apply to “legit” copies bought from the official sources.

Is it even possible or will I have to do dualboot when I install Linux on my gaming desktop?

    I use bottles to run the installers, and then have steam do the rest. It works shockingly well.

      Ok, so I managed to run the installer with the help of bottles and it seemingly succeeds, but “add to steam” does nothing and when I try the add new game option in steam, the game is nowhere to be found.

      It’s like the installer is trying to tell the system where the game is but only bottles is listening and it can’t actually run it 🙁
