I've been meaning to get a Linux VM spun up for testing games. I gather that I'll have some issues (i.e. blockers) with multi-player games and cheat-prevention, but I'd just as soon play single player games anyway.

I've been a Linux/Unix admin for 25+ years so I've no excuse other than convenience. But I'm done.

I'm sure you know this already, but for anyone who doesn't: If you want to know if a specific game will work under Linux, Proton DB is your friend!

I'd recommend the other way around; Windows in a VM for the vew games that don't work on Linux.

Kernel anti-cheats won’t (shouldn’t) work in a a VM

Now no one should have those but if someone was smart enough to know that then they would be on Linux already

Wait, really? I only knew VM-detection from malw... oh.

Honestly I migrated to bazzite about a month ago and my entire library has just… worked. It was shockingly easy. I haven’t changed anything from defaults at all.
