I ran a quick search in this community and couldn't find anything on this topic.

I'm gaming on linux, with a mix of official and alternatively-sourced games. I've recently noticed that GOG has an OS: Linux filter and I found some titles that I could like in that list.

I tried the sites listed in the megathread, and I did not find a place where I could get these linux versions.

Has any of you looked for the native linux versions of GOG games [edit: pirated versions] and found a good place for them ?

Clarification edit (some responses helped me realize my post is ambiguous) :

  • I'm not looking for linux-native game lists, I've got that already
  • I'm not looking for legitimate platforms on which to buy linux-native games, I've got that already
  • Playing games using proton is playing with a compatibility layer, not playing native
  • I'm looking for unofficial ways to acquire linux-native games, and I'm aware these are quite rare for resons well stated in some comments

Resources already outlined :

  • 1337x with the linux keyword -thanks to @Aram1s
  • rutracker.org thanks to @beetroid
  • johncena141's torrents thanks to @kaya

I guess it does not have enough demand since there are few native linux games, few people use linux (around 3%) and because of compatibility layers like proton and wine. Sometimes you can find linux native games on 1337x if you add linux in your query, but those are few and often outdated.

I agree with you on the cause, and that there are few and outdated versions on generalist torrent sites.
