Quoting: gbudnyDoes it mean that you can't even boot a live version of a Linux distribution from a flash drive to play games if the internal SSD fails?

You cannot boot a M-series Mac without a functioning internal SSD.
There is a note about this in the Asahi Linux FAQ as well. FAQ - Asahi Linux Documentation [External Link]

Can I boot Asahi Linux purely from an USB drive?
No, unfortunately not. Apple Silicon hardware does not support booting from USB storage, at all. It is completely physically impossible to boot from USB while making no changes to internal storage. This is by design, for security reasons.

Quoting: boxuserThey don't really circumvent kernel level ACs but rather implement the APIs they need to work, hence why most of those games now run on every other Proton as well.
Of course the workarounds depend on the game, but all of those end up actually being protected by their AC while running on Linux. See their README [External Link]

Interesting, so does that mean you can now run these games without having to patch them? I.e. run the games with unmodified files?

As far as I know, with the exception of the first game in this project, the project hasn't made any changes to the game files at all. The only difference is that the way they are launched and run is slightly different.
That first game also now runs without any modifications. (It has only undergone minor adjustments to ensure stable performance.)

It's cool that more companies are trying to improve Linux support, but I really hope kernel-level anti-cheat never makes its way to Linux... kinda worried about that.

Oh, that's great!
I've noticed some ACE games working on desktop Linux recently. So, has something changed on Tencent's side to make this happen?

Hold up. Wait, what? I totally thought Blue Protocol: Star Resonance wasn't gonna be playable on Linux (at least desktop Linux). What a sweet surprise!
Bummer it's not out in Japan yet though. Hopefully when it finally drops here, it'll still work on Linux!

It's a shame the new version doesn't work, since the original Blue Protocol ran fine on Linux. 😢

They're doing ~ 16 terabits of transfer a day. That's actually a lot lower than I would have expected.

I looked at the page and it is listed as 23.6 Tbps, it's Tbps.

@dpanter
Why would you want to disable it? Linux native titles should run as is, and Steam Deck Verified titles should automatically use the version of Proton that Valve has verified to work without issue.

I've seen so many people considering switching to Linux say things like, 'Ugh, this game doesn't work on Linux. Neither does this. Or that. Oh, gaming on Linux is a joke. I'm going back to Windows.' It's genuinely great to see this issue finally getting addressed.

By the way, what version of Proton will be set as default in this state? For those familiar with Linux and Proton, it's not too much trouble to switch to the latest stable Proton version with each annual update. But for users who aren't aware of this, couldn't they potentially get stuck with an outdated Proton version a year or more down the line?

From the official NVIDIA page, it looks like that GPU is also supported by this driver.
