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 it'll be a tough sell for game developers. Steam Deck and the Steam Machine are now "real consoles" and supporting them is seen as important.

The optics of blocking support for a platform people expect the game to be playable on using a technology that games are openly hostile towards would be really bad.

You can draw parallels to anticheat, but gamers are generally more accepting of anticheat than drm.
