Hello, the only thing from stopping me to fully use Manjaro as my primary daily OS is that pirating on linux is inconvenient. When i install pirated games on Linux they must be really lightweight to support, like Undertale or Papers Please, because WINE uses Vulkan graphics and they are fucking terrible on slightly more heavy games like superhot and shit, this entails having bad frame rate like 20 fps (unplayable). To whoever is using Linux and also pirates games on daily basis, do you also have the same problem? Is there any solution you could suggest me? Thank you

      I have some issues with games but currently play Star Trek Online, Xenonauts 2, and Dyson Sphere Program just fine.

      Zorin OS, I would recommend Zorin OS lite for older hardware.

      As a Linux user who uses AMD hardware and Vulkan and have done gaming on a range of systems, but mostly on Arch Linux and ArcoLinux (a distro based on Arch) it definitely seems like your issues are Linux Gaming-related. I do pirate, and I pirate on Linux, specifically on Arch, and I haven’t had such issues, so yes, your problem is linux gaming related.

          I usually open them through Proton in Steam, using the Games > Add a Non-Steam Game, Menu. From there, I navigate to the exe and it gets added to my steam library. If the game is ripped from steam, remove any files containing steam in them, because otherwise it will identify it as a steam game and that would mean it will show you a Buy button rather than a Play button.
