    What are you talking about?

    Use FOSS software, and run games using Proton. Doesn’t really matter whether they’re pirated or bought.

        “didn’t work” isn’t going to get you any help.

            what is your setup? what did you do? how did it fail? what was the error? did you attempt to mitigate it? if so, what have you tried? did anything change? have you tried it in another environment? did it work? what’s the difference between the environments?

                os? fs? what was the result of changing the proton version? did you try proton-GE or umu? did you run it without a launcher? did you try running it directly through the terminal? what did the steam logs say? what did the heroic logs say? did you install the windows and linux versions separately? if not, did you install it on linux or windows first?

        Simple and straight forward app is Bottles, get it on your app store. I was trying to get Farming Simulator 2013 installed and it “just wouldn’t install” under lutris so I tried bottles and it worked, just worked. My only issue now is mounting non .iso iso like .ccd .img and one more I can’t remember now.

        EDIT: Anyone used CDemu to mount .img or .ccd? Does it work? what about converting these files to .iso with ccd2iso or acetoneiso?

          If the .img file does not contain partition table info, it should just be a matter of mounting:

          sudo mkdir -p /mnt/img
sudo mount -o loop path/to/file.img /mnt/img

          The only time that becomes a problem normally is if its like a partitioned SD card (had a netbook I booted from SD card before and that happened).

            I will try that for the .imgs, how about .ccd, bin/cue and iirc .mkv? These images were obtained over two decades ago and have been transferred a few times, certain 1meg/Xkb files may have been lost. Daemon tools and later power iso used to mount these files no prob but I destroyed my windows a while back and am not going back regardless of what I lose as I gained more

              bchunk can do conversion to build these all out as .iso files. I think cdemu, given your mention of Daemon Tools, is a better option though as its effectively doing the same thing DT did. It would load the image to /dev/sr0 (the CD/DVD device) which you would then just run the previous mount command to bring up: sudo mount /dev/sr0 /mnt/cd

              I think you mean MDF/MDS instead of MKV (I haven’t seen those in like 20 years - but I think that’s what you mean). That was the old Alcohol 120% proprietary format. I don’t think any tools directly work with that extension, you’d have to convert those .iso first.

                I’ll check that out, thanks

                And yes mdf/mds think I mixed a video extension

                Thanks

      I read through the comments and saw him mention Dodi repack of Cyberpunk 2077 and realized he’s the same guy with the same complaints as like a week ago here.

      Guy just needs to ask for some help instead of the vague handwaving complaining he’s done, I wouldn’t mind helping at all.

        Same, but saw the ‘piracy/linux’ in post title and knew it had to be him.

        Opened a post about how to play pirated games and it got reported.

    Pre-install websites like steam rip work fantastic. Just download, unzip, add to steam. I’ve had problems with repacks though.

    Sid Meier’s Pirates! has a gold rating on Winedb, so Linux is pretty good with piracy.

        You were told before, your cyberpunk issues are user error.

        As far as adobe, don’t bother.

            because there are better pdf readers available for free.

            also cyberpunk certainly works for everyone else on proton.

            You don’t need Adobe Acrobat, there are fully functional alternatives to read PDF, you don’t have to use Windows software

        For Adobe Acrobat, well, it’s an Adobe product, and those are famously not compatible with Linux at all in any capacity. You’ll have to find something to replace it with or spin up a Windows virtual machine to run it.

        For Cyberpunk, where did you get it and and what have you tried? Also, consider volunteering any other information that might be helpful (distro, hardware, etc.), I don’t think either of us wants to play 20 Questions to help you troubleshoot.

            • You must install from Linux, proton has no idea where all your DLL are from your other install.
            • don’t use NTFS in Linux if you can avoid it
            • as others have said, open the hood and look at logs, errors, etc. Linux is open and free, but that comes with doing more yourself.

            If you can’t stop complaining about how “windows did this automatically, but Linux doesn’t”, maybe Linux isn’t for you. No one is going to hold your hand and do the magic for you.

        I know adobe photoshop has kernel-level stuff that does not work with Linux, pirated or not. I’d imagine other Adobe products behave similarly.

    It’s easy, actually. What you mean to ask is “Why am I not good at piracy?” and the answer to that is that you are impatient, like a little baby.

    as far as VST plugins/audio software are concerned, it’s great over here, albeit with the usual WINE quirks once in a blue moon. the only thing stopping certain VSTs from working correctly (or in rare cases at all) is WINE. WINE ain’t perfect, but is it glorious.

    RX10 and SpectraLayers Pro 11 run like a dream too.
