I recently built a new gaming computer and have been contemplating about the OS.
I prefer to move away from windows given obvious reasons and do like using Linux, but my experience with my steam deck has taught me that pirating games in Linux is hit or miss.
I played around with windows LTSC and honestly, seems like windows without the bloatware.
So question is, how is game pirating on Linux (in a desktop, not steam deck).
Is it as smooth as windows or should I just say fuck it and accept that my gaming computer has to stay windows for another generation?

That’s way too much work than simply installing fucking windows and be done
Half of the instructions there are installing tools that you only install once, not every game.
And once you set up Lutris, it’s pretty trivial to open .exe files with it.
