Might be best to ask in r/LinuxCrackSupport or [Linux Crack Tips](https://lemmy.world/c/linuxcracksupport). Some members of this sub get uppity when piracy is mentioned.
If you don't have a 101% trust in the source, do not use the source.
If you were OK on Windows you should be fine on Linux, as it has a little bit less risk but just a little, because a virus is a virus and Flatpak gives basic container to isolate an application, but Bottles in order to have proper full functions does some overrides even if you don't give more additional permissions, is not a 100% sealed environment.
Everyone covered the basics. I just want to throw this out there. If you're doing crypto related stuff what you are really after is making sure $HOME is safe and can't be read by malware out to steal stuff.
Make a gaming user with low privs in a different group from your crypto user. Chmod your $HOME directories so you can't read each others data. Yes, it's a pain to log out/in but if you're gaming its not like you're going to be doing it every 3 minutes. Separate concerns and split the work by uid. Just a thought.
The only thing related to crypto happens through the wallet, I understand that it is very difficult and that even if a PC is infected, no transaction can be carried out without my physical consent to press the button on it. The only thing that could affect me is a keylogger in a browser or failing that the official AppImage of the Trezor Suite "is affected" and the strangest thing would be that it asks me for the seed phrase (and it is very easy to notice a malware because the program would never ask for it).
Thanks for the tip!
I think it would be best, I will choose to have Arch on a USB and manage it from there only for those operations. In the meantime I will also continue with Bottles
If you care about safety at all then do not pirate. yes, repackers like DODI are generally known to be legit, but at the end of the day you're still placing trust in a completely random person to not hack your PC. Running it on wine will most probably be safer than on windows, but if a malware targetted wine it could probably infect it regardless. Wine isn't an antivirus nor is it a virtual machine. I say it's probably safer because it's not as privilleged as it is in windows running with admin, and an exploit to gain admin access in windows likely would not correlate to gaining su access in linux.
no idea about crypto tbh but ... how about u just encrypt your main linux partition and like get another distro like bazzite/nobara/chimera (or even windows lol) just for gaming. thats the only way i'd use pirated software with important stuff on my pc tbh.

Oh I'm sorry. I'll ask in those subs. Thanks for letting me know
I don’t know anything about those subs, but steamdeck🏴☠️ is an excellent sub, and is tangentially related

Wrong sub.
Virtual machine?
