Pirated game on Linux? (sh.itjust.works)

Moving to Linux soon, and wondering how pirated games work with it. I know about proton with steam and lutris for most bought games, but how would I run pirated windows games over there?

There is AppImages. There's also tools to package games as AppImages with Wine.

Oh AppImages the thing that takes 20 seconds to launch an Application :) What a great option. Not even Joplin launches as an AppImage in a decent time. For what's worth Flatpak was a godsend. Either solutions still have the issues I described before tho.

AppImage launch times should be not that far off of running it barebone unless you have a MASSIVE appimage, as it uses FUSE, but I get your frustration, especially on slower hardware.

They are and I guess Joplin isn't that big. Flatpaks are way, way faster and make the same thing... but better in all ways. i7 8th gen with NVME btw.
