Ah, sorry, I misinterpreted you. DM is fine. I have never used Lemmy’s DM, I expect it to be bad. I have put a matrix address on my Lemmy profile. It’s probably better than Lemmy’s DM
I see, I’m not sure I can help you with that. I don’t really engage with many communities outside of Lemmy. I just lurk in various other places.
Anyway, it looks to me like you are looking for an online bubble where to efficiently isolate yourself, this can’t be good for you. I would suggest meeting with real people instead. Are you still a student? Maybe in university? Then you are probably surrounded by people your age with common interests to you, waiting for you to speak to them. Make friends, it will be fun.
That being said, I do share some of your social anxiety, so this is definitely a “do as I say, not as I do” kind of situation.
Interesting, I didn’t know you could do that through the portal directly.
I was only familiar with uinput because I have used it before to use a wiimote as a mouse, and for that you’d actually want to emulate a mouse.
Btw, I just remembered.
You said that “if you could go to the store, buy a disc with the game, like in the good old days” you would prefer that over piracy.
I do encourage you to buy games on GoG (Good Old Games), download the installer, and burn it on a blue ray disk for you to keep.
For steam I already told in the previous comment, cs.rin.ru. You need an account to access the clean files threads.
For gog unfortunately not anymore. Check the r/piracy megathread, see if you find something
I forgot about the gog part. Yeah, you can also use those. There used to be a website that uploaded clean gog installers, but now all the download links are behind those sketchy filesharing services. Though, if you manage to get one, the binary should be signed by the developer. On windows I know you can check the signature by right-clicking on the file, on Linux I don’t remember because I haven’t needed it in a long time.
For the VM you need qemu/kvm. I suggest to use virt-manager which is just a graphical interface for qemu.
First of all, don’t expose yourself to danger. Get your pirated games from reputable sources.
Most games only need a Steam emulator like Goldberg’s to run without license, and you can get clean steam files from cs.rin.ru. You don’t need VMs for this, it’s literally the original game.
If you need an actual crack, you can also look up on cs.rin.ru and try to gauge the reputation of the uploader. You can also check fitgirl or dodirepacks, they are both highly reliable. These are unlikely to have malware, but it’s not impossible.
If you want to use a vm because you still don’t trust the pirated game in question (reasonable), then there is no shortcut. Use the arch wiki to learn how to setup a VM with GPU passthrough, even if you don’t use arch it’s always a good place to get started.
The proper way to programmatically move a cursor on Linux is using uinput.
Anything you were doing that worked in xorg and not in wayland was more akin to a weird remnant from the 80s than to an actual solution.
However, there will likely be full featured applications that already do whatever you were trying to do.

Yeah, because you don’t know the language
I know that’s not what you meant… But those are all digital…
You don’t. That’s why it must be reputable sources
