Same here, my bank has a really good cash back card.

Glad you found some good deals online. Do you do credit card churning at all?

(From https://www.reddit.com/r/Piracy/comments/kqw0si/guide_on_how_to_easly_run_pirated_games_on_linux/?rdt=44586)

• Download pirated game
• Install Lutris and find your game in it
• Install original game through Lutris
• Using WINEPREFIX=“/Lutris/game/prefix (eg. /home/USER/Games/originalgame)” wine piratedgame.exe install pirated game into this Lutris prefix
• Apply crack
• (optional) Copy your saves into this prefix’ c:\Users\Documents folder
• Change game executable in lutris from platform exe (like EGS or Steam) to your pirated game’s .exe
• Run game using Lutris.

If Lutris is having issues, you may have better luck using Bottles, also trying the non flatpak version if you are currently using flatpak.

Fair enough, I most likely broke the system due to not understanding it when using Endeavour. From my understanding now, someone can choose to not install de specific programs and additional endeavouros apps.

That is true in the same way that Ubuntu is Debian. I prefer the base version where I can choose what’s necessary for me for resource management and troubleshooting purposes. I forget what it was, but there were a few issues where Endeavouros was not working properly and the Arch wiki solutions did not work for it, could have been my error as well at the time.
