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.

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.

It's important to mention that you need to set the shortcut to run as Proton Experimental.

Yup, I prefer lutris though

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
