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?

Make sure your ancient laptop has vulkan support, if it doesn't you can't use dxvk or vkd3d and have to use the directx->opengl wrapper in wine (wined3d), performance will not be good with it and you'd probably be better off with windows.

Note: you can still run older or 2d games with ease, 30 to 80% performance observed on same laptop
