Moving to Linux soon, and wondering how pirated games work with it. I know about proton with steam and lutris for most bought games, but how would I run pirated windows games over there?

I recommend using this amazing ressource: https://github.com/jc141x/portal for games already repacked for linux and ready to run with a simple bash script.

Why do jc141 releases use DwarFS, instead of more typical compression formats like tarballs?

From their Github: Q: Why use the dwarfs format? It makes it less convenient for users. A: Our purpose is to serve a community which is involved enough to be able to follow a short setup page. It enables us to provide users with new technological features that we find useful.

Thank you, and sorry - I made sure to read the FAQ, but I couldn't find the answer for this specific question.

No worries, I actually did not find it either even tho I had read it before. Seems that they removed it from the FAQ but it is still in the search results.
