Linux piracy can honestly be a pain in the ass. I wouldn't beat yourself up too much over it if it wasn't working properly.

There's someone called "johncena" then some numbers who supposedly uploads some kind of Linux-ready release of games.

I'm a Linux pirate so I've been going through the trials and tribulations to get games to work. For the best results, I typical need to install the game in a Windows VM then copy it over to my main OS. It's a hassle and takes up a lot of storage in the process, but it's nice when it works.

It sucks when it doesn't work and can feel like a waste of time. That's something I've just gotten used to with computers.
