Funny thing is that the Hypervisor workarounds do NOT work under Linux lol

It depends if you are talking anti cheat or anti copy, two different things. Proton translates the anticopy in denuvo passing it back and forth to wine, effectively making it work.

Regarding finding cracked games, just google “free media heck yeah” to find trusted sources.

No. I just do not want anything to do with that. Everything works now so why would I want to? It also breaks my cloud saves, and basically ease of use. That was fine when I was 12 but that was a long time ago.

I also ditched google a while ago, switching to Metager - I do not miss Google at all, i can understand you completely in that regard.
