A good power supply by a well-known brand instead of the cheapest. Because if it blows up, all other PC components are in danger of breaking and this can result in data loss.

Pirating of otherwise unavailable media.

It is still my favorite game ever, regarding story, world-building, characters, music, graphics, quests and overall gameplay.

But it’s a bit weak on combat mechanics, there I prefer Elden Ring and Dark Souls 3.

Well, probably depends on the tools used to uncompress and compress the files. Some old releases just unpack hundreds of GB without stopping.

Use Bottles with the Sandbox option enabled (and sound enabled). So, native performance but without access to files outside the Wine prefix (virtual Windows folder where the game is installed) and without network access. This way, you don’t have to worry about games phoning home, containing a crypto miner or ransomware.

Also, forget about FitGirl repacks on Linux, most don’t unpack correctly.

Most Lego games. It’s like a physical pain to me, NOT to 100 % them.

You don’t have to, just get it from flathub as a flatpak.

Why the hassle? It is available to install as flatpak for any distro: https://flathub.org/apps/com.makemkv.MakeMKV
