Windows 11 LTSC vs Linux for piracy (sh.itjust.works)

Hi,

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?

How does one install pirated games (e.g. from fitgirl) on Linux?

What others said... I think I've even run the installer as a non-steam app through Steam using proton and that worked as well. Unless I'm misremembering.

I used Lutris before but I do Bottles now, fitgirl worked on both fantastic for me

Open it with wine, no other tweaks.
