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

What about creating an user account only for games and not in the sudoers file? Would that be a reasonable way to protect your main user account?
