That’s great and all, but can I still pirate games on Linux? (Don’t judge me)
Yeah just add the game as a non steam game to steam and click play.
It’s better I fact. There’s a lot less worry about installing a virus.
(Not so) fun fact, a lot of Windows viruses work under Wine on Linux. If you have ransomware bundled with your pirated media, it will likely also encrypt your Linux files.
Use Bottles as a Flatpak, isolate all your applications from each other and from your host system.
Actually, no. Windows viruses can work well in wine. You still have to be careful in that regard.
But the virus will be stuck in its wine prefix, right?
wine doesn’t sandbox applications, so it could still cause harm
No, not necessarily. Wine programs usually have access to your home directory as a Windows drive (X: or Z: or similar). So do be careful
I mean it’s probably possible to craft a Windows virus that targets Linux through Wine, but I don’t think a generic Windows malware would do any damage on Linux.

Yes, much the same once you learn the hoops.
