What's best practice to safely play pirated games on Linux? Looking to mitigate potentially malicious executables from wrecking havoc on my system.

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.

Wine might translate the windows calls to Linux depending on what the malware does
