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.

for those who dont know. in the piracy communties there are new cracks for denuvo that use hypervisor. they often crack it day one now.

so i suspect denuvo will become a hypervisor itself to stop piracy,as a result it will need windows driver that proton wont be able to translate. thus making any denuvo game with these new protections not run on linux.

what do you think?

I think I don't trust any game developer enough to let them have that deep of access to my system so if that's the way they go then so be it. Plenty of other games to play.

We're already seeing more and more support for indie games. This would just keep that going. Which reminds me, relooted is on sale and I need to grab it.
