I asked this before on reddit, but with the blackout, I can’t see what was replied. What are some good sites to use if I wanna pirate games and software on linux. On 1337x there’s jc141 but his repacks are a lil weird.

I remember a couple sites were suggested but I can’t seem to find them

      Thank you so much for replying,

      I wish I had talked to someone like you when I first started out. After trying to figure out jc141 and failing I went straight to fitgirl, who I use on my windows machine and love sm, and instantly got frustrated by how much it failed.

      I had no idea, I’ll give rutracker another look

      tbh I kinda wrote rutracker off as a tracker for just music, mainly because i dont like reading russian

    I’ve run both fitgirl and dodi windows repacks on Linux, it’s easy. Install protonUp-Qt and add proton-ge. Add the package installer to steam and run with proton-ge. Then run the game .exe with proton-ge once installed. If the game needs any dependencies add them using proton tricks. Also if you’re running the game installer on a steam deck make sure you press the limit to 2gb of ram option.

    If you’re downloading games on 1337x go with Dodi and Fitgirl. They are the most reliable options. Their original sites are the best choice tho.

    I’m playing through Far Cry 6, Hogwarts Legacy and Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands on the Deck from repacks rn and I’m having no issues.
