    I hate pirating software these days. Like 90% of shit outside of games are full of viruses (“oh you want to torrent this obscure program that no one else is seeding? Too bad, it’s a crypto miner!!”). And the games are full of deranged programmers who hate each other, shitty forum navigation, and Linux file management is convoluted that I need to search up “[game] file location Linux” for every single game because I have no idea where anything is. I thought Linux pirating would be easier but it seems like it’s encouraging me to just buy the game to skip all this nonsense

      You use Lutris? After getting the hang of pirating things on linux its not too bad. I'd say I get 80% of games working and I've got have well over 100.

        Nah I’ve been trying to get creamapi or the Linux equivalent of it (forgot the name) to work but it was just a bit too confusing. Maybe I’m just dumb

          Give Lutris a try, It's really easy you just have to target the .exe and tell it to run with wine. Make sure to use a GE-proton runner for anything with modern graphics.

            Most of the games I want to play, I’ve already bought years ago on steam. Though I’ll check out Lutris whenever I want to demo stuff. But do you know if creamapi works for Linux, or at least the ones running through proton?

              Looks like there is a Linux native version. Hasn't been updated in 8 months though. I haven't really messed with it, I just pirate things with the DLC included.

      Is it not /usr/bin?

      /usr/bin, /bin and /sbin are the program\ files, program\ files(x86) and system32 of Linux.

          Yeah but most people don’t have a big fucker $PATH with all those.

          Of course there might be a flatpack that puts shit somewhere not in $PATH.

              i know but i didn't think mine would have all those.

              turns out i have /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games, so almost everything.

              working on embedded systems warps the ol' brain.
