So I’m talking about playing previously Windows-only games on Linux, e.g. via proton.
I don’t know about the libraries etc that are used - is it possible for Microsoft to use some legal voodoo, for example, to suddenly end it all, and make the use of their libraries illegal (if they belong to Microsoft in the first place)?
Or could there be other ways of interference?
Yep that’s was my solution too. Same conclusion. And then while I was on that same live CD session, I said “meh, why not just switch if I’m using Linux to do my computing anyways…” Now if only I could do the same with my cellphone…
