Are there any guides, tutorials or similar on how to use Steam more privately?

I actually never heard of Lutris before, could you please provide me some links, etc. so I can get into it?
I don't really know what you mean by "other means", let's say Hogwarts Legacy for example. How could I acquire it otherwise, besides buying it for a console?
Alright.
where to get games:
this will not probably work for most multiplayer games or always-online games like Genshin Impact
Lutris is a FOSS game launcher for GNU+Linux that handles installing from different (open-API) sources like GOG or itch.io or just a local installer file. It also manages wine/proton versions, settings and prefixes for each game. It also integrates with a lot of emulators for old consoles like 3DS, PSP or Atari.
Depends on whether piracy is less of an ethical issue than supporting a sexist transphobe.
