Moving to Linux soon, and wondering how pirated games work with it. I know about proton with steam and lutris for most bought games, but how would I run pirated windows games over there?

If you already got steam set up, just add your pirated game as a non-steam game.
If you’d want some more control about the environment a game runs in (e.g tooling like DXVK), I suggest bottles, it’s a tool designed to more easily manage Wine installations and dependencies.
They have their own compatibility layer called “Soda” based on the same tech that Proton uses, just with less of a gaming focus out-of-the-box. They recommend installing through Flatpak, a software management tool that’s available by default on many Linux distributions, but note that you’d wanna give it access to your games folder (wherever you wanna put that) or your entire home-folder using Flatseal
