HOW do you do it?

I'm about to just run a Windows VM, why does linux suck so much.

Also what is "Run crack exe in prefix" supposed to mean?

Am I too dumb for this?

I haven't used a PC in the last 5 years so piracy skills go a little rusty, and I've always done it on windows, never on linux

There’s a dropdown that lets you pick an exe to run in the wine prefix. The wine prefix is basically the emulated* windows environment that Lutris sets up for the game.

* Wine is not an emulator, but I don’t know what other word to use.

The prefix is where the "windows" system is, the default is a .wine folder on your home folder (if i'm correct), if you enable seeing hidden directories and files it will show.
