What’s best practice to safely play pirated games on Linux? Looking to mitigate potentially malicious executables from wrecking havoc on my system.

    Right, to elaborate run a packet capture and monitor the IPs your system connects to when installing and playing the game.

    Never use a web browser with email or any other access to online accounts, clear all cookies after each browsing session.

    I’d argue have a separate boot drive with absolutely nothing stored, nothing critical, no cookies, it’s single use of getting the games and hell, probably even run a VPN while playing the games so no tracing back to ISP public IP.
