I currently have a load of pirated games and I’m considering moving my systems to Linux cuz Windows is ass. Would this make it difficult to run pirated games?

Its not as easy as launching from steam for example, but if you have some basic linux knowledge and the ability to use Google you can get 99% of pirated games running in either bottles or lutris. Search for steam deck specific piracy guides, they largely apply to all linux distros.
Nonsense! Often adding as a non-steam game and using proton is one of the fastest ways to get up and running!
But yeah, it’s trivial
Actually, it often is that easy. If the game isn’t a repack, you can usually add the EXE to Steam and launch. If you need dependencies, then you can take the extra minute or two to add it to Lutris or Bottles.
Even if the game is a repack, you can add the installer EXE to Steam and it’ll run with Proton Experimental or GE, choose the install location, then add the resulting, unpacked EXE to Steam and it’ll run just fine.
