What’s best practice to safely play pirated games on Linux? Looking to mitigate potentially malicious executables from wrecking havoc on my system.

    That’s the equivalent of leaving the door open and hanging a sign “Internet over there” pointing at a wall.

    Programs don’t need to respect those registry keys. If you’re worried about internet access, set up a firewall.

    Also, if you’re worried about malware, the damage is probably done before anything connects to the internet.

      Yes for the pointing to a wall.

      You can go with your firewall I don’t mind. I don’t get why you think this had anything to do with security. This is just to get any software to go offline by default.
