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?

How the application is started is a separate question. I don’t know enough about Wine to know if it would install a Windows Service as a user service in systemd or init.d or something like that. But if the app is started it can do anything it wants subject to that user’s permissions.
