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)

    If there’s a game that doesn’t work on Linux because of anti or something it probably won’t work in a vm either so dual booting would probably be the way to go to avoid that

      @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.

          @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.
