    Vague statement. Please, fam; either be more explicit from the get-go. Or, engage with the comment section.

    I suppose you meant the piracy that involves games and/or software. FWIW, I’d be more than happy to specify if you could clarify/elaborate.

        I’m obviously not an expert. But, from what I can tell, the scene seems quite healthy. And I don’t see a reason why it wouldn’t thrive further. Especially as the Linux market share is in the lift. Anti-cheat shenanigans are a lot more concerning. Though, I’m optimistic that Valve is actively making progress on that front.

        Btw, just as an FYI: I know people that were more interested in software piracy. But I digress…

            what software do people pirate in linux?

            It’s a great piece of software. As such, I wouldn’t want to harm them. Hence, I won’t give you any pointers. Sorry not sorry.

            office works fine if you use a translation layer like proton. There are also free/open source office suites that are file compatible and way better.

            specific versions of Adobe work with proton, but not all. There are better alternatives on Linux for the most part.

            pirated or legit makes no difference
