The malware won't be able to do as much as it could on windows, but it can still access all of the files your user account has access to. It can steal, encrypt or delete all of your files. It can also access your microphone if you have one connected.

You can run Wine as a different user or run it with firejail to limit what it has access to.

    Is it applicable to Proton in some way? I'm guilty of using less popular and thus less veried cracked software with it so I'd like some level of protection. Can I separately write it in some config file?
