Pirating on Linux (lemmy.ml)

Hello, the only thing from stopping me to fully use Manjaro as my primary daily OS is that pirating on linux is inconvenient. When i install pirated games on Linux they must be really lightweight to support, like Undertale or Papers Please, because WINE uses Vulkan graphics and they are fucking terrible on slightly more heavy games like superhot and shit, this entails having bad frame rate like 20 fps (unplayable). To whoever is using Linux and also pirates games on daily basis, do you also have the same problem? Is there any solution you could suggest me? Thank you

Either something is wrong with your setup, or your hardware. Make sure that you're running the right drivers and that you aren't accidentally running on your onboard graphics instead of your dedicated GPU.
Check the general Linux gaming boards, and doublecheck by installing Steam and loading up something heavier from your library if you have any.

Having just finished a DRM unencumbered version of Returnal by the excellent "LinuxRulez!" (linux repacks with all the trimmings) i can tell you that what you're experiencing isn't normal.
