Windows 11 LTSC vs Linux for piracy (sh.itjust.works)

Hi,

I recently built a new gaming computer and have been contemplating about the OS.

I prefer to move away from windows given obvious reasons and do like using Linux, but my experience with my steam deck has taught me that pirating games in Linux is hit or miss.

I played around with windows LTSC and honestly, seems like windows without the bloatware.

So question is, how is game pirating on Linux (in a desktop, not steam deck).

Is it as smooth as windows or should I just say fuck it and accept that my gaming computer has to stay windows for another generation?

Imagine I'm an idiot, do you have a link or description for where to find those? I looked for them some time ago and found nothing. 🥹

Keep in mind, though, that you'll still have to do some activation and KMS hackery to make them usable, but you can at least use an installer that's going to be clean.
