What’s best practice to safely play pirated games on Linux? Looking to mitigate potentially malicious executables from wrecking havoc on my system.

Spin up a VM, load the game on that.

Not sure why youre being down voted, theoretically this is like the safest way to run a game “on linux”, even if you are using windows under it lol

You can actually get near native peformance if you set it up correctly.

OP wants a safe experience, not a good experience.
