I forgot about the gog part. Yeah, you can also use those. There used to be a website that uploaded clean gog installers, but now all the download links are behind those sketchy filesharing services. Though, if you manage to get one, the binary should be signed by the developer. On windows I know you can check the signature by right-clicking on the file, on Linux I don’t remember because I haven’t needed it in a long time.
For the VM you need qemu/kvm. I suggest to use virt-manager which is just a graphical interface for qemu.

Thank you, your responses have been most helpful. Yup, I used to check the signature / hash for GOG installers in windows. I’ll have to look into how to do it in linux. I’ll look into qemu/kvm. Virt-manager rings a bell. Thanks, I’ll look into all of that. Do you have any site recommendations for clean steam / gog files?
