I want to play gta san andreas, but the only version available at stores is the nasty remake that rockstar did a while ago, there is a way to play pirate games on linux?

    What AV would you even have on linux? Maybe to be on the safe side. Boot into a different system on a different drive or a qemu virtual machine

      I usually scan programs that are downloaded from less trustworthy sources on virustotal.com. It’s all online, so I don’t have to install anything. It checks the hash of the file first so it doesn’t even have to be uploaded if someone’s already scanned it before.

      Maybe ClamAV?

      That’s the only one I remember hearing about when I started playing with Linux a few years ago.

      I remember reading that it was good for scanning for Windows viruses before sharing files with Windowr users, so it might be perfect for this kind of situation. Combine that with VirusTotal and you should be covered.
