i tried to pirate games and software on it it was hard to get anything to run.

i think that would make linux not so popular in regions where people depend on piracy.

i want hear your opinions about my point

    What are you talking about?

    Use FOSS software, and run games using Proton. Doesn’t really matter whether they’re pirated or bought.

        Simple and straight forward app is Bottles, get it on your app store. I was trying to get Farming Simulator 2013 installed and it “just wouldn’t install” under lutris so I tried bottles and it worked, just worked. My only issue now is mounting non .iso iso like .ccd .img and one more I can’t remember now.

            what is your setup? what did you do? how did it fail? what was the error? did you attempt to mitigate it? if so, what have you tried? did anything change? have you tried it in another environment? did it work? what’s the difference between the environments?

                os? fs? what was the result of changing the proton version? did you try proton-GE or umu? did you run it without a launcher? did you try running it directly through the terminal? what did the steam logs say? what did the heroic logs say? did you install the windows and linux versions separately? if not, did you install it on linux or windows first?

                    fs as in file system, you answered ntfs. that’s a red flag. what version of ubuntu? so you used lutris too? what was the log output from lutris? so it did start with wine but there was no video? which version of wine? do you have dxvk installed? what was the log output from wine?

                    don’t run applications installed in another operating system on linux. it will not work. use a separate application instance.
