just curious but what do you think about Virtualization such as QEMU/KVM and Looking Glass?

I'm a bit uninformed in this venn diagram and this will probably come off as stupid question but:

What's the likelihood that modern DRM and/or anti-cheat could detect that it's being run inside a VM? (I'm gonna guess pretty high unfortunately)


Edit:
rip, guess dual booting is still the closest solution atm (for those who play DRM/anti-cheat locked games)

Unfortunately very high, especially with modern systems using "trusted platform module" (TPM) hardware that can tell the software exactly what's running, at a higher privilege level than the OS

100%.

They absolutely can detect virtualization, and a LOT of games will ban your ass for it.
