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?

You usually have to reboot Steam when you add a shortcut in Bottles, for it to show up.

If you’re using the Flatpak versions of things make sure you use Flatseal to give it access to the game locations, that might also be an issue.
