Playing pirated video games on Linux - Lemmy.wtf

Anybody know how to play pirated Windows games on Linux? I recently installed Lubuntu (22.04.2 Jammy Jellyfish) on my ancient laptop and all the guides I can find and trying out Lutris only seem to apply to “legit” copies bought from the official sources. Is it even possible or will I have to do dualboot when I install Linux on my gaming desktop?

Make sure your ancient laptop has vulkan support, if it doesn't you can't use dxvk or vkd3d and have to use the opengl wrapper in wine (wined3d), performance will not be good with it and you'd probably better off with windows.
Note: you can still run older or 2d games with ease, 30 to 80% performance observed on same laptop
