As the title says, if someone theoretically wanted to play a cracked game on Linux (not me), could they use the official Steam launcher, or would they have to use Lutris?

You can add any program as a non-steam game to Steam. It simply adds it as a shortcut, but you can add art and icons.
It was a joke a long time ago to rename a random exe like Notepad as “Half Life 3 Beta”, add it to Steam, and troll your friends by leaving it running all day.
Not only adds it as a shortcut, but also allows you to use steam input to remap controls, very useful on the deck.
I’m stealing that for the next time I’m playing a non-steam game. It’s just old enough nobody will know.
It’s important to mention that you need to set the shortcut to run as Proton Experimental.
What is the most convenient way to add art? Is there a tool, something more automatic than downloading jpgs from some website yourself?
You just right click the game entry in various contexts to add an icon, banner art, etc. There are like 4 different sizes and contexts.

Thank you! Exactly what I was looking for.
Like another comment already said, yes you can. Why would you do that though? Steam sucks so much and running games with lutris works about 5 times better
Yup, I prefer lutris though
