    Bottles maybe? It's a flatpak so it's containerized.

    You shouldn't worry that much anyway, if a pirated game has a virus it's most likely designed for Windows.

    Yeah, and I'm not against piracy by any means, I pirate every movie I watch despite having Netflix, Disney+, Star+, HBO Max and sometimes Prime. We have all of those because it's easier for my parents but God, Stremio is a lot better than having to find out which platform has the movie I want, and sometimes there's no alternative other than piracy.

    As Gabel said, piracy is a service problem, and I think that music streaming services are great and at a fair price, so I don't see the need for pirating music as long as you can afford it.

    Mint is hands down the easiest and most stable distro I have ever used. You don't need the terminal at all. Comes with everything necessary preconfigured and if you need any tutorial you can use any Ubuntu tutorial (its based on Ubuntu).

    I meant that it would be a whole another problem that I don't think they would want to address right now, considering that they're still fixing Proton. Creating an ARM translator with good enough perfomance would take several years, and I don't think they would profit as much from it, they did Proton because they don't want to depend on Windows (which in recent years has become a competitor since Microsoft is investing more in the PC gaming ecosystem).

    Wine already existed but it took many years to get Proton to where it is now, and it's still not perfect. I doubt they would want to start all over now that things are finally working.

    Most of the times it is not that it isn't stable, is more that you're trying to do thinks the Windows way but I get that learning the Linux way can be hard since most of the times it's not obvious or intuitive.
