Does this method work on Linux too?

Nope. Sometimes they can’t even get it working on all CPUs.
I’ve heard it’s possible to play them on a Windows virtual machine on Linux but I have no clue how bad the performance hit would be stacking hypervisors like that.I was able to find it, but I wonder if it works

Oh brother, the post inside is talking about Single-GPU passthrough.
It’s doable and I’ve done it before but fair warning: it can be a serious pain in the ass, especially if you have a GPU that doesn’t reset right and hangs every other attempt lmaooo 🥲
I know people really want to enjoy these games and I wish them luck. But…
I have thousands of other games I can play that don’t have invasive DRM. Enough I might never need to purchase another game in my lifetime if I felt like it. And I’m happy being away from Windows and their bullshit. It’s hardly even a sacrifice. But good luck to the hacker crackers.
I mean, ring 0 calls cannot be run on wine at all, hypervisor pretty much works with that level of priviledge, but you should be able to run it under another VM.
It does not unfortunately because the Hypervisor used is specific to Windows, and Wind doesn’t allow the kind of Ring 0 access required to make it work. Maybe in theory it could be done with custom software but it would be difficult and it would be better to just use a VM to run it or emulate a console version of the game.
I think the real promise when it comes to HV bypass is it paves the way for other people to work on new cracks. Which isn’t easy by any means but could be made easier by the use of AI tools meant for decompilation (something many purist crackers would turn their nose up at for some stupid reason).
