I’m sure it can tell that the hardware it’s on or drivers being used is virtualized.

But unless it’s using your webcam to track your eye movements or you’re in a supervised space, you could use your phone or second computer.

What games do you play that aren’t compatible? I don’t play many of the really mainstream games. I think the last game I played that wasn’t compatible at the time was genshin impact.

If anyone is interested, there’s a windows tool called AtlasOS, https://atlasos.net/, that is a significant debloat tool. It’s designed for gamers to get as much fps and performance out of their system as possible. Yes I’ve had things break, and yes it’s a security issue, but I’ve never had a problem with the games I play. I like the idea and enjoy trying it out when Linux isn’t an option for something I’m trying to do.
