It's easier on Linux than it is on Windows, and also safer too.
Good to know it's easier! I assumed it'd be safer because Linux generally is lol. Presumably because Denuvo is kernel-level and Linux doesn't let it fuck about with the kernel or something like that?
Nah Denuvo isn't kernel level, at least not at the moment. The method used on Linux operates entirely in userland using a custom proton build and the cpuid fault instruction. On older systems that don't support cpuid faulting they do use a kernel module, but this kernel module is much simpler than the Windows HV, it only emulates cpuid faulting and doesn't do anything else.
