“Let Chaos storm, let cloud shapes swarm; I wait for form”
Hopefully there will be a guide on how to install the module on immutable systems like Bazzite in the future. The proper way as they intended of course via rpm-ostree.
And in case anyone is wondering, Intel hasn’t been mentioned much since it supports cpuid faulting on everything released after ivybridge.
Best of all on Zen 4 or newer hardware hypervisor isn’t even needed. Just a modified proton build since the newer platforms support cpuid faulting with no kernel level stuff needed.
I’m happy to see this become availible to Linux users. Especially since unlike the old HV bypass which Irdeto’s astroturfers could easily spread FUD about this runs entirely in userland and thus doesn’t have those risks. Not that they won’t try, they still will. They’ll just sound even more like clowns to everyone else.
It’s a different and completely unique architecture than what runs on most PCs out there, even what runs on most older PowerPC platforms. It wouldn’t be possible to run PS3 games on PC hardware without hardware emulation. PS4 and PS5 might be possible since they use x86_64 CPUs and AMD APUs and their OS is BSD based but it would still be challenging to coax them into running on PC hardware outside of the PlayStation Operating System.
Bazzite does have it’s own method of installing modules to the system. It’s just not dkms. It would be great if this was adapted to that method though it’ll probably be a while until that happens.
