Moving to Linux soon, and wondering how pirated games work with it. I know about proton with steam and lutris for most bought games, but how would I run pirated windows games over there?

Wow now thats really cool. Im curious if this would work well with Ilok.

The main reason im not switching atm is because i make music and unfortunately some of the plugins i use require Ilok. Regardless if it does, def interesting! Thanks for sharing.

what is Ilok?

If it happens to be FL Studio-related, then I am pleased to inform that FL Studio is reported to run pretty well and can be automatically installed with Bottles (https://usebottles.com/app/#flstudio)

if ya need help setting it up, just ask here or find me somewhere else

Ilok is a license manager used by some vst or plugins to pervent piracy. It sucks. Its not based on any DAW or anything like that.

Ive been doing research on whether it can be run using things like wine but it seems to break pretty easily if wine updates.
