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

Get your games from trusted sources, make sure the hash lines up, and don't worry about it. Especially since you're on Linux--you'll be absolutely fine. Common sense goes a long way.

Spin up a VM, load the game on that.
