Hello, the only thing from stopping me to fully use Manjaro as my primary daily OS is that pirating on linux is inconvenient. When i install pirated games on Linux they must be really lightweight to support, like Undertale or Papers Please, because WINE uses Vulkan graphics and they are fucking terrible on slightly more heavy games like superhot and shit, this entails having bad frame rate like 20 fps (unplayable). To whoever is using Linux and also pirates games on daily basis, do you also have the same problem? Is there any solution you could suggest me? Thank you

I usually open them through Proton in Steam, using the Games > Add a Non-Steam Game, Menu. From there, I navigate to the exe and it gets added to my steam library. If the game is ripped from steam, remove any files containing steam in them, because otherwise it will identify it as a steam game and that would mean it will show you a Buy button rather than a Play button.
