Using proton for pirated games on linux?

Sure, finding games on the high seas is easy enough on my windows machine, but if I'm on my linux partition and want to play a game that would otherwise work if I bought it in Steam with proton, how would I go about getting the game to run?

While that’s absolutely true (and that method should work on other Linux devices too) it’s kind of a hassle when you have to change the exe path multiple times just to install the game and it’s dependencies like dx, visual c etc.
I’d recommend that method only if you’re a purist (and a bit of a masochist :D ) and you want to keep the machine as bloat free as possible at any costs
if you were a purist you wouldnt have steam tho and would just use wine from cli, no?
You’re absolutely right. For some reason I had Steam pre-installed in my head, probably bc the SD is the only Linux device I’m using
