Why is pirated software just full of viruses nowadays? Piracy used to be by bros, for bros. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9STiQ8cCIo0

Got my start with video editing in 2011 by downloading a cracked Sony Vegas Pro 10 installer; it wasn't even a torrent but a zip.

You just didn't know you install malware

>Pirated Sofware
Lmfao, just use FOSS apps
>Viruses
Never had one and even if a game has a virus, it's running inside a proton prefix inside a flatpak sandbox, good luck.
>Windows piracy
lmfao are you fucking fr? You might as well post your crypto wallet on 4chin, or at least remove the wifi module and never connect the device to your home network.

>FOSS apps
never forget, if its free its shit.
there is NO exception to this rule

I've had trouble getting games to install inside of wine front ends, do you have any advice? tried a fitgirl repack, couldn't get past the installer without errors

as far as viruses, can't someone just create a windows VM and play the game like that?
>>
>>107604080
It's always been that way. To get good stuff you have to be in the scene.

sorry, that only counts for proprietary apps.

>Faugus
Get Faugus Launcher, Flatpak is fine. You can install it via your AppStore. Just add your repack setup exe to Faugus and install your game. After the installation, just go to Faugus, remove the install.exe and replace it with your installed game exe. Done. If you want to use MangoHud (performance overlay) make sure to activate it in the faugus settings and install MangoHud via flatpak (flatpak install mangohud 21-25)
-
You can also add installers as non steam game or use bottles there are guides on youtube, but I'd just stick to Faugus, avoid Lutris for quacked games, it's outdated and the devs works on other projects now.
