https://freelinuxpcgames.com/ the website doesn't look malicious but would like if anyone has proof otherwise I know there's torminatorr, but I would like some direct download websites for Linux since I can't seed while pirating because my ISP has limited bandwidth of 1 TB and my fascist country Iran has $300 minimum wage and I have better ways to use that than seeding, but I don't like leeching EDIT: seems the website is malicious I guess I'm forced to leech or use proton with steamrip games

The domain name is a red flag in itself, but looking through steam underground I did find someone with plenty of comments under their belt saying how they got files for some game they shared from that site and 0 mentions of it being malware, so it's probably okay.

That being said, I'd personally recommend just using bottles for piracy, don't even bother with native linux ports given how they're usually worse than windows versions running through DXVK/Vulkan (except maybe Factorio given it's Linux unique optimizations) using Bottles or something for added security - it's safer to download them too given how many trustworthy repackers package them.
