LinuxRuleZ (who is a moderator and major contributor to torrminatorr.com) rocks. Their packaged Linux native and Wine prefixed games work nicely with the Steam Deck (though sometimes I have noticed the Wine ones are broken). Make sure to seed their torrents as they are not up for very long, and they delete their old builds because they cannot sustain the storage requirements.
I think they–actually maybe the adminstrator of torrminatorr.com, I thought LinuxRuleZ was the host because they are very prolific and people mention the administrator’s sites mainly to get LinuxRuleZ’s repacks–also host zamunda.se (also other domains/mirrors exist, but this one is possible to create an account successfully atm), and have been working on a new site appnetica.com.
While 1337x is too risky from pirate from, and this creator’s repacks don’t work with the Steam Deck due to the immutable OS which also lacks various linux packages, I think johncena141’s repacks are pretty cool because they use DwarFS, a virtual filesystem like FUSE that has some of the best possible compression ratios and speeds possible, for their repacks. I saw redditors complain about this person’s repacks being too difficult and complex, lol, but I think this is one of the best ways to use open source tech for Linux piracy. This honestly inspires me to learn to crack my own games and software and create nicely packed torrents.
DwarFS tangent
I’ve been wanting to learn FUSE/DwarFS and OverlayFS to see if it would be viable to create a solution for compressing my Steam games since deduplication would probably help save a lot of space from a lot of copies of libraries and wine prefixes bundled separately for each game.
