luthis comments on how to run pirated games in linux?

It depends on the game, but gnerally you would set up the prefix with whatever wine or proton version is compatible, install any other windows stuff like directx or fonts etc if required, and then run the install executable for the game and install it. Then you might have to run a separate crack program in the prefix or replace the game exe in lutris

Bottles, in my opinion, is a piece of shit.

With a lot of sorrow in my heart, I have to admit it's true. Bottles was SO good and clearly ahead of the curve just a couple of years ago. But the main dev had interests elsewhere. And, eventually, it became this mess. I hope Bottles Next will succeed at sparking their interest over a longer period of time.

Just FYI cyberpunk works perfectly fine on Linux.

I understand the piracy, I'm not advocating it but I understand. But if you have the funds, and the company is worth getting your money why don't you just get out of all the trouble of finding how to play it and just buy it and play it without any issue?

With that said, lutris and/or bottle (or any other recent launcher to play video games on linux) will actually do the trick. If for some reason you are unable to find the how to somewhere I wonder if you should really be downloading executables off the internet. Even more so on windows if you are not using Linux anymore for ever.

Those are usually the vector of a lots of viruses and malwares.

Anyway. Have fun with cyberpunk, it's pretty great!... When you can launch it :-)
