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.

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)

@Ptsf Haven't played any of those. Anyway, there is a way to edit your xml to fake the machine id.

[–] brian 3 points 1 week ago (7 children)

machine id isn't necessarily the important part. anticheat and vm detection check a lot of different heuristics incl hard to defend against things like timing attacks on particular cpu instructions. there's a handful of open source versions if you're curious

@brian To be honest, until and unless it becomes a problem for me, not really. KVM has the host CPU executing the VM instructions so timing on CPU instructions should product identical results. I have the VM setup as CPU and GPU pass through.

[–] brian 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

even with cpu passthrough some things are still emulated. you can run a vm detector and see for yourself what tests fail.

it may not affect your games but others should still be careful since it is a real issue, and people do get banned for it.

@brian Ok, just for kicks tell me where I can get this.

[–] brian 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I've never used it but this one seems like the most complete currently, and it'll tell you which tests fail.

@brian I have used it and with flyff at least the performance was far insuperior to kvm/qemu.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The most random mention of Flyff I have seen yet, as long as you mean the game.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

@Sheldan Yes I am referring to the game, back when I had tried on vmware it was still the main commercial one that I was playing, I have since moved to Insanity Flyff. One of those minor continuities in my life.
