Brother. You tried to run a repack that was likely developed and tested on Windows, and then got pissed when it didn’t work. This is Linux, you downloaded it for free… there is no megacorp surveilling your system and trying to fix every single gaming edge case so that you stay happy while they shove ads in your face. If you just want gaming and want to stick your head in the sand and stay completely unaware of how your OS works and what it is doing, absolutely stay on Windows. If you have the slightest care about your privacy, desire to learn about how a computer OS works, or are curious about free software, then join us… there are tons of people out there willing to help you. And I’m sure there is a way to get that repack working… it may just take some research and actually asking questions in the community.

Well, you can ask for a refund. Oh wait, it’s free.

lol skill issue but the skill floor is so low you’d need to be Hermes Conrad to limbo under it like you did. Impressive.

“Edge-lord can’t get stolen game to work on linux while legit copies work just fine. Blames Linux.” – Fixed your headline.

> note: this post isnt a ragebait im serious this did happen. just cause it happened doesn't make it not ragebait. posting "linux is garbage" to a linux forum, when your problem wasn't even really a linux problem is very much rage bait.

That was a lot of words to say “I couldn’t get it to work.”

@funkajunk@lemmy.world 2026-03-13 05:58
So you were using a cracked version of the game? Not surprised you had difficulty

You're young and an iPad baby. Not surprised you whine about needing skill

You got scammed? Oh no. How much money did Ubuntu take from you?

Sorry that Cyberpunk didn't work for you, that's understandably frustrating. I hope you get what you want from your return to Windows. If you ever decide to try Linux again, you might benefit from asking people for assistance before you get so frustrated. I've personally played Cyberpunk for hundreds of hours on Linux, so I know it certainly does work. There's probably something going on with that specific repack you're using that makes it weird to get running.

@Multiplexer@discuss.tchncs.de 2026-03-13 06:07
You are seriously complaining that your pirated cracked game is not running on Linux? Tone it down, adding exaggerated details to your ragebait makes it unbelievable.
-
@Shimitar@downonthestreet.eu 2026-03-13 06:27
Its like putting an Audi engine inside a Ford and complaining that making it run is hard. Complain with cyberpunk developers that didn't developed also for Linux, but only for windows instead. I find it incredible that you can even try to run a windows game on linux. Try run a native android app on iphone or vice versa...
-
@db2@lemmy.world 2026-03-13 05:56
So much to unpack here. Like why you think a free open source OS owes you personally anything especially when you're doing nothing but complain in a small forum.

@fozid@feddit.uk 2026-03-13 08:32
I've been playing cyberpunk ages on my Linux pc. Installed and worked first time and plays perfectly. Think it's just a user error or lack of skill. But enjoy windows anyway, why did you even bother trying Linux? Windows is great for the average user who just wants to turn it on and not think about it.
-
@vithigar@lemmy.ca 2026-03-13 06:33
Isn't Cyberpunk DRM free? Why do you need a repack? If the bit that didn't work was the repack's self-extractor/installer I guess that would make a little more sense.
-
@Engywuck@lemmy.zip 2026-03-13 07:59
Use whatever works for you, man. An OS is just a tool, there's no point in struggling with it. I don't generally play games (apart from some UT'99 match), so Linux suits me perfectly. It's ok to use something else, if your use case is different.

@JustEnoughDucks@feddit.nl 2026-03-13 06:16
I would suggest first doing the basics first before diving in and trying to run cracked games. I had trouble and had to go through multiple troubleshooting steps to get DODI repacks working on windows even. the difference is there are a ton of resources of people spending hours and hours fixing broken cracked games on windows (dodi Hogwarts legacy has like 100+ threads on reddit with fixes) where Linux just isn't popular enough yet to have a big community find fixes for your cracked games for you already and the fixes from windows often don't work. First try browsers, steam games, streamimg, and light use while dual booting, you can still keep windows for the games that don't work on Linux. It doesn't have to be all or nothing. Just take it one step at a time. You are trying to reduce tracking. That is going to be 90% internet browsing, so if you already switch to Linux for that, you are much of the way there.

There’s lots of people, myself included, that would help you out. The only games I can’t play on my Linux install are games with invasive anti cheat. That goes for steam games, games with their own launchers, and games from DRM free installers like from GoG and…other places. Cyberpunk specifically I have a lot of time in running perfectly across 4 different Linux distros. It can definitely work for you too.

> Valve's testing indicates that Cyberpunk 2077 is Verified on Steam Deck. This game is fully functional on Steam Deck, and works great with the built-in controls and display.

@eugenia@lemmy.ml 2026-03-13 06:31
Different OS, different apps. When you move to another OS, you move your apps too, not expecting to run everything Windows does. If you really want to play that game, stay on Windows. Although you probably did something wrong, since others can play cyberpunk fine (maybe not the cracked version though, or a special pack for it -- just vanilla game).

Locking post. I wish someone had reported this rage-bait[^1] post sooner. [^1]: Claiming not to be rage-bait isn’t a magic spell.

Works fine through Steam

@ZeroHora@lemmy.ml 2026-03-13 16:57
Skill issue. This can only be a bit or you are a little kid. Entire week posting some dumb questions on the community instead of just going to the point to try getting help installing things. Your post about piracy in Linux there's a lot of comments saying that not all repacks works and you dipshit couldn't read? You want that shit so much? Just repack on windows and copy the gamefolder to your Linux partition and run the game after cracked with proton.
-
@VerilyFemme@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2026-03-13 16:00
Ubuntu lol. Try a gaming-focused distro with more focus on preconfigured drivers. I think you need it. Pop!_OS if you wanna use Ubuntu, CachyOS if you want your shit to be fast.

@Bulletdust@lemmy.ml 2026-03-13 06:12
Repacked version here, runs faultlessly with very little effort on my behalf.

I've got a bunch of dodi games and they work fine.

Install Bazzite and try again. Not only does it work, you don't need to do anything for it to work.

I can play cyberpunk fine with steam on Linux but I choose not to because it's a boring shallow game unfortunately

You’re 100% right and I’m glad you’ve made this post. Haters will vote you down but they aren’t running the dodi cbp repack.

Use Nobara, and install official games.

And yet you're still here. This is 100% user error. I've played that very game in Linux, it works fine.

@merde@sh.itjust.works 2026-03-13 07:19
the thing is, with linux, your africa doesn't need to crack "stuff". Tools they **need** are free. Are you from Africa or are you using the old clichés to justify your lack of understanding?
-
@db2@lemmy.world 2026-03-13 06:07
Both, in a try-before-you-buy way. I did the same with Scorn which also worked perfectly. As the other guy said, skill issue. Getting mad that you aren't good at this doesn't make you somehow otherwise. Do better or just go away, nobody owes you anything.
