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.

            I mean, I hope they keep doing that because Valorant sucks. Everything about it is boring and 20 bucks for one gun wrap is outrageous. The rootkit is invasion of privacy I don’t want to reboot just to play. The rounds go on for so long people just get bored and start griefing… If you leave early the game punishes you hard. There are plenty of better games to play. Not to mention it’s only KB/M no cross play no ability for players with disabilities. Perfect for conservatives who only care about themselves like to have players begging to drop their wrapped guns

          @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.
