Basically the title. I’ve only ever seen huge 20 page guides on how to make it work. Is there an easy way?

Specifically on Debian or Arch with a laptop with two gpus (zephyrus g14)

@variants @shapis Not true, a root-kit will break it in wine because wine is just translating windows sys calls into Linux sys calls, but a vm is actually running a windows kernel, then the root kit anti-cheat works fine. With GPU pass through, I have found no games that work under Windows won't also work within the VM.

Vanguard (Valorant, LoL) detects a VM pretty easily.

Damn that really fucking sucks man :/

At least MiHoyo's anti cheat detects and blocks VirtualBox VMs as well as Waydroid.

@lord_ryvan Interesting, haven't played that game so no experience with it. VirtualBox does do some things a bit differently, I was not able to get flyff to run it well, it runs but at about 3fps, where as it runs normally in kvm/qemu.

There are many signs for software running in a VM to realize it does, especially if you want an easy setup. In theory you could mask that, in practice it would be very tedious, time consuming, and not perfect enough anyway.

@halfapage I'm saying from experience, nothing I could not get to run in a VM that ran in a physical machine.

[-] halfapage@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

You can absolutely run stuff on VM with approximately native performance and it's not even that difficult to set up. I meant that it's not easy to obscure fact of running inside a VM from programs such as anti-cheats, which seemed to be an original concern.

[-] nanook@friendica.eskimo.com 1 points 1 day ago

@halfapage Anti-cheats don't generally care if they're running in a vm as long as they can insert kernel drivers.

Maybe anti-cheat software does not care if it is running inside a VM, but online-multiplayer game developers do, and they will ban you for using a VM.

@PlasticPaperplane I've never been banned, but ok.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
