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?

    IMO, it’s so much easier to just use Lutris to install your game. Never had an issue with any repacks.

    Setup your prefixes in Lutris, point to the installer, then install. After installation is done, just change that same setup to point to the .exe game launcher instead of the installer

      Admittedly I didn’t have to install many games during my time on Linux, so I’m not surprised that the “right way” to do it went past my head. if this works fine too, that’s great!
