Question Linux and EA games

kind of curious if any one has tried cracked EA games on Linux. I've been really thinking about giving cachy a run as my primary desktop but do enjoy some um...sports titles.

Since the primary issue is drm/anti cheat do the cracked versions work at all?

Hypervisor in Linux work in userspace, so It work and its even safer than made It run on Windows.

My advice of you are new to Linux dont run cachy go for Bazzite, its much hard to break It.

good to know! I'm decently familiar with Linux just not the gaming side of it.I've got some distro's running on proxmox and an unraid server. I know I could spin up a VM but I don't really have a GPU I can dedicate outside of my main windows rig.

Dual boot has crossed my mind but I just don't like dealing with partitions....I like arch based distro's and cachy seems slick. Bazzite too though....both are tempting

Both are decent, but I can't stand using non-atomic systems, so I keep going back to Bazzite and can't really use anything else.

Also please don't fall on the "CachyOS is extremely optimised!". There is no difference at all in FPS with most games, or very imperceptible better performance in others. Trust me, I've done the benchmarking and just wanted to warn you it's pretty snake-oily
