Say, you downloaded a pirated game that happened to be malicious, and you run it on linux using compatibility layers like WINE/Proton, does your linux installation get infected?

    I would guess that if it could, nobody would program it.

    The chances of the scenario is too low. Hacking is a numbers game.

      Depends of the hacker.

      I suppose some government blackhat could do such thing for a very targeted hack. Still unlikely though.
