im not a linux expert but isnt the whole thing with linux that there isnt really malware for it because no one bothers to make any?
but with regards to games like other posters said check cs.rin.ru for the games and either use the goldberg method or just get the games pre-installed/cracked and run them through Lutris/Heroic
alternatively you can also download linux versions, theres a couple of people who crack linux games, one of them is john_cena and another whose name i forget is on torrrminator. ive downloaded a couple games from torrminator and had no issues with them
but of course ymmv and this may not be entirely up your alley with regards to the privacy etc concerns

The systems that allow windows games to run on linux also allow for windows malware to run on linux. That is the threat I am trying to avoid. Running pirated games in the manner you are describing is risky as a result, even on linux. I shall look into your other suggestions though, thank you for taking the time.
