To add to the other security conscious comments, even if you wanted to run a VM, there are attacks that escalpe the VM and hit the underlining OS
Computers are inherently insecure
imperfect creatures making insecure robots. there is a solid sit com in there , like ‘being human’ both UK and US version.
Wiat, I just found itch.io yesterday.
Just looking for indie games, right? Need a knockoff Metroidvania?
No I was horny.
Is there no website to check them before installing? Or it is not worth the time in Linux? Similar to VM or sandboxed system?>
Something similar to: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/home/upload
I use it to check APK downloads before putting it on my phone.
Anyone know more about this?
You can use virustotal for any game/file under 650MBs; This meme was created as a joke, good security practices should always be followed.
No anti virus will be 100% accurate, viruses get missed all the time, while legitimate software can acquire false flags.
I would never recommend just running a random .exe you find on the internet with wine as any non-root protected files could potentially be damaged; With Bottles (the application) all files outside of the created bottle are not visible to programs ran/installed inside the bottle.
If you really want to try something, throwing caution to the wind, running it in a wine BOTTLE that’s created just for that program, has a low chance of damaging your computer. (This does not mean “safe”)
Doesn’t wine app still have access to your home dir?
