massgrave.dev should be good

Why would you need that?
If the watermark doesnt bother you, I wouldnt even bother.

Kinda funny that this is on Github.

Your data is worth a lot more to microsoft than the license fee.

[–] normonator@lemmy.ml 12 points 13 hours ago

Microsoft support uses it even if they aren't supposed to officially

That script is a lifesaver! 😅I’ve used it countless times. Usually, GitHub takes them down, but this one managed to survive.

Do you even need to activate it? It's not like it will do anything other than nag you

A VM is going to incur a pretty big performance loss. From what I've read, Soulframe works just fine with Proton. Either Lutris or the Linux Steam client should work for running it.

OP can also do GPU passtrought to huuugely negate the performance loss, but it is a rather complex process.

[–] exu@feditown.com 1 points 6 hours ago

For 2d platformers, the virtio GPU with 3d acceleration might be OK.

[–] ryokimball@infosec.pub 4 points 11 hours ago

+1 for proton, though I think modern VM tech very little overhead these days.

[–] Dojan@pawb.social 9 points 14 hours ago

Aye, Soulframe works flawlessly via Lutris. It runs on the same engine as Warframe and performs as well really. Been playing Soulframe for months on SUSE.

Click "I don't have a product key" during install. Then use MAS to activate after the install.

If that game can run on a VM, pretty sure you can play it even though you have activate Windows watermark.

What are you playing on atm?

[–] OlPatchy2Eyes@slrpnk.net 1 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

I'm not playing. My computer runs Ubuntu and I can't get decent performance with Lutris.

[–] Faydaikin@beehaw.org 5 points 15 hours ago

Hmm... I'd try running it through Steam.

I feel like I've generally had better results with Steam than Lutris.
