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

Get your games from trusted sources, make sure the hash lines up, and don't worry about it. Especially since you're on Linux--you'll be absolutely fine. Common sense goes a long way.

If you're really paranoid, you could run the game inside bubblewrap, inside a container.

Maybe im too paranoid

Spin up a VM, load the game on that.

Not sure why youre being down voted, theoretically this is like the safest way to run a game "on linux", even if you are using windows under it lol
