I asked this before on reddit, but with the blackout, I can’t see what was replied. What are some good sites to use if I wanna pirate games and software on linux. On 1337x there’s jc141 but his repacks are a lil weird.

I remember a couple sites were suggested but I can’t seem to find them

    As a Linux user who lost at least 100 hours of his life wasting time trying to install a thousand different repacks, I suggest you to stay as far away as possible from any windows repack such as Dodi or FitGirl, usually they open but half way through the installation for x or y reason the installation stops and gets corrupted, you can try a thousand times with a thousand different commands and variables and nothing changes.

    I suggest you to use “pre-installed” formats, Steamrip is my top 1 page to go to when I want a pirate game on Linux using Wine, and this is because the game already comes pre-installed, you just have to unzip the file and you have it ready to play.

    Then, other highly recommended sites are Elamigos and GoG-Games, and if you really want to download repacks you have Torrrminator which personally I have never used.

    Someone should create a community about Linux piracy like r/linuxcracksupport, I would do it but I don’t know if I have the time and patience to be the mod of a community.

      Thank you so much for replying,

      I wish I had talked to someone like you when I first started out. After trying to figure out jc141 and failing I went straight to fitgirl, who I use on my windows machine and love sm, and instantly got frustrated by how much it failed.

        Haha, anyway you can install it on Windows and copy those files into your Linux drive although at that point I would just stick with Windows.
