At this point it's pretty much only the competitive games with kernel level anti-cheat that don't work on Linux because of their kernel level anti-cheat.

But then again, if 90% of the games you play are competitive games that require kernel level anti-cheat, you should probably consider expanding your gaming experience lol

Thanks, this might prove promising!

Can you link any direct confirmation that this is actually a VM on hypervisor, and not just a non-hypervised VM but with GPU passthrough like the Crostini on ChromeOS? These two are very different things.

It's really not a surprise this particular species is soooo widely spread! :D

Yeah if you can manage to get one without their outrageous official price, these are really amazing devices for enthusiasts, took me less than 3 minutes to unlock bootloader and root (most of the time spent by the full system wipe from unlocking bootloader). And they are some of the last flagship spec'ed phones that still have SD card support, and headphone jack, and they come with very clean AOSP-like ROM with minimal customization and no bloat, and because of that most of the root-empowered system customization tools developed for Pixel phones mostly work out of the box on these phones too

They straight up support the concept of open devices: https://developer.sony.com/open-source/aosp-on-xperia-open-devices

I've been seeing other posts about this too and I'm curious why this wasn't updated on some ROMs.

I use a Sony Xperia 1 VI which has very clean AOSP-like ROM with only a couple OEM customization features, and the Google Play System remains up to date without me having to maintain it manually. But I'm seeing at least Samsung and Xiaomi phones where people found this wasn't automatically updated, perhaps it has something to do with some of the heavily OEM-customized ROMs? In that case it still surprised me Samsung didn't even take care of this considering how they have a particularly close collaboration with Google...

Good thing this is at least very easy to block per-app with a Xposed module.

Although it is quite concerning indeed that there isn't an easy and explicit way for you to be notified when an app tried to do this on its own, it would be nice to have a tool that can automatically scan an app to see if it does that

I don't know much about Guilded but just looked it up and saw that it got bought by the Roblox Corporation in 2021, soooo I wouldn't count on it not enshitify very soon too :(

Why wouldn't you use a dedicated APK extraction app of your choice to extract the APK file, then send to another device using a file sharing method of your own choice, be it WLAN-direct or even Bluetooth, instead of using Google's locked-in proprietary tool?

But it was originally derived from coal gas back in the 3rd quarter of the 19th century, when the first internal combustion engine for transportation application was being developed.
