Ye no. If i made malware for windows that goes over all reported drives wine will just happily translate that. Hell, by default wine will map root as z: so no, wine/proton will not help.
Even wannacry was able to cause some damage to linux if ran through wine
Thanks!
That’s very useful to know - I’d have assumed it can only see it’s own files within the wineprefix folder.
It looks like trying Steam within flatpak, and limiting the flatpak’s access might offer some protection.
Or maybe getting stem to run as a different user.
