First of all people just tend to use software that is free by itself on Linux. So the need for piracy isn't as great.

But there is also nothing preventing you from running pirated software on Linux. That is a you problem.

As a formal pirate, Linux is as good or better than Windows to run pirated games, the problem of "linux being harder to pirate than windows" is that we use Wine to run Windows programs on Linux, which is basically like an 'an super minimalistic windows JUST to run .exe, nothing else' and videogames needs A LOT of dependencies in order to run a game, and when those dependencies are asked in Wine, Wine cannot satisfied them and the game simply don't run. How can you fix this? In pirated games, there's a folder that I don't remember how is called, but usually brings all the dependencies needed to run the game, just install the dependencies and then run the game. In my opinion, Bottles is the best to pirate, since it even have an option to specifically install Windows dependencies.

Lmao, didn't you just posted this on the Linux community and got obliterated yesterday?

i feel like i read this exact post yesterday.

I hate loaded questions. I'll let other people disprove you on the merits, but "Linux is not good on privacy" is simply your opinion. Nothing more...

wat. "hard to get anything to run"? It's probably hard if you're completely new to it, yeah, but Is that just because you don't know how to use proton and wine? were you trying to pirate linux native versions? Were you using a gaming-oriented distro? And do you know how that distro is supposed to work?

Most Linux distributions you've heard of before like, this year, are probably boring, "stable long term support" (out of date) corporate-office-based and programmer-friendly distros and trying to run games on them is like trying to run Windows games on Windows Server Edition. It's a nightmare, because it's not intended for gaming, and everything is going to feel like a horrible hack because it is and it sucks don't do that.

Use Gaming distros for gaming. Use Windows versions of games. Don't overthink it, pretend you're on Windows. Forget you're on even Linux, this is Windows 12 Nobara Edition. Let Proton and Wine and Bottles and launchers like Heroic handle the dirty work of actually managing all that shit for you. There are a few things you will need to figure out how to translate the Windows-focused installation instructions the lazy pirate guys tell you into Linux-compatible installation instructions, because nobody is going to do that for you. It's not hard, it just takes a little bit of experience and knowledge, which you probably don't have yet. But once you do, you're off to the races and everything runs fine. There might be a few hiccups here and there, but there are when you're first setting up Windows too. Most of the time, with most stuff, it just fucking works. Source: trust me bro.

I haven't had any problems, could be a skill issue.

Where are tthose regions where "people depend on piracy"?
