I have decided to switch to Linux Mint from windows. I don't use computer for work that much. And for my personal use I'm switching to Linux Mint. I have heard a lot about it. So giving it a try. I know about emulating windows in linux to play window games. But how do you use cracks and stuff?? Does emulating also access my 100% graphics card or less? I want to know about all these. Please people in my condition help. Thanks in advance :)

Lutris is your best friend for that. But you can also add non-steam games to your library and force them to run with proton, just be sure to only launch them when you're in offline mode. Between those two programs I can get 90%+ of all my pirated games working.

Is one of them hogwarts legacy? I've been fighting with that for 2 days and no luck. I've gotten closest with lutris but still no launch.

Not one I was interested in. You're using a GE version of proton as your runner? i know some people forget to add those runners.

I've been using wine 9 but I could try that

[–] Ithorian@hexbear.net 7 points 5 months ago

I've been having pretty good luck with wine-ge-8-25

For Steam Deck and AMD processors:

  1. Run in terminal sudo nano /etc/default/grub Replace nano with the text editor you are using.
  2. Find the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT
  3. Add clearcpuid=514 inside the quotes.
  4. Update the settings with sudo update-grub for Ubuntu/Mint and similar or sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg for Arch and the like.
  5. Reboot the system.
  6. Play!

Doing this helped me, running archlinux so i used systemd-boot instead of grub.
