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

It is inevitable that there will be a performance loss when using wine, but it is usually quite small. Partially/totally broken games aside, if you have a good pc you won't notice the difference.

So, if the fps of games like superhot (a bit ironic example) are terrible for you, I guess there are two options:
There is something wrong with your setup, for example a gpu with little (or no?) vulkan compatibility, or using the nouveau driver instead of nvida.
Or the small difference in performance makes a big impact on your toaster, so you should use using something like AtlasOS, while eating toast.
