I have decided to switch to Linux Mint from windows. I don't use computer for work that much. And for my personal use I'm switching to Linux Mint. I have heard a lot about it. So giving it a try. I know about emulating windows in linux to play window games. But how do you use cracks and stuff?? Does emulating also access my 100% graphics card or less? I want to know about all these. Please people in my condition help. Thanks in advance :)

I just switched my gaming computer over to Nobara yesterday and got all of my gog and non DRM games running in Lutris very easily. Two I had issues with were Warframe and the Plutonium launcher, Both ended up having lutris setup scripts that fixed my problem. Also wine/proton is not emulation so it does not have the same overhead, It will use your full GPU as windows would.

Isn't it good to have your gpu used more and efficiently?? Doesn't it make games run better?

Yes, they were saying that as a good thing. If it were run through an emulator it likely would be done on the CPU and not use your GPU. Wine/Proton will use it properly.
