I was just wondering what would happen if I downloaded a game that was infected by a computer virus and ran it in Linux using Proton.
Has this happened to anyone? How would the virus behave? What files, connections or devices would it have access to? Could it be as damaging as running in in Windows?
Depends on what the virus is built to do.
I read someone intentionally infected their Linux system with a Windows virus, and they lost the home directory.
