173 Denuvo games. All from userspace. All you need is a Proton build, and if you're on Zen 3 and below, a hypervisor.

Existing releases are actively being updated to support Linux, with Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced already working amongst almost a hundred others.

A full compatibility list will be posted this week, with the detailed instructions for the setup process already available.

Now on the Stickies of the Main Forum on CS RIN.

This might change tho. The current push for digital autonomy by the EU is creating a pretty large movement towards open source and Linux in many countries. Sure, it's not an overwhelming amount of machines simply dropping windows, but it increases the amount of Linux and OSS software in government and attached business by a significant share of the market, creating a pull effect.

This might be what makes other businesses move away from Microsoft in the long run. Being able to say that the data you store is safe from US government agencies simply because you aren't attached to them anymore might be a plus in the current - and even more in future - markets.

It's similar to what happened in the server space. Everything was IIS, until it wasn't because OSS became the thing to use. These days MS rents out Linux servers.

Edit: this doesn't mean that we won't be stuck with Windows legacy stuff for the next decades tho :-(

    I was working on server side stuff back then and IIS was never dominant - it was more a hodge-podge of various solutions including stuff like Sun's proprietary stuff on top of SunOS, and indeed IIS was also in the mix though at least in my experience it never really overtook the Unix-based solutions.

    But yeah, Apache with Linux came out and took pretty much the whole webservers and web-services market pretty fast, and Linux itself took over most of the broader server-side market (so, stuff beyond serving web-pages or REST interfaces).

    Windows NT had a bit of a moment before that, but it didn't grew all that big on the server side because of competing Unix solutions back then (SunOS, IBM AIX and so on) and then Linux came and pretty much crushed NT server-side for anything but serving Microsoft-ecosystem-specific stuff (such as services supporting single sign-on for Windows).
