    You can use protondb as a guide to what will and will not work. If it is pirate or original usually doesn’t really matter. You can use lutris to make your life easier. If you download from a site that needs you to install extra programs to run the game, just choose them as if they are the game.exe, run it to install, repeat with all needed programs, then change back to the game.exe and play

      If anyone reading this cares, Faugus/UMU for a replacement to Lutris if you’re bothered by Lutris using AI in their project.

      Pretty much this. ProtonDB already has people telling you which games work on Linux and any issues that you might run into. Pirated or legit isn’t really relevant.
