Mostly racing games normally use vw for gamestreaming. Only game I get blocked is hot wheels 2 because it uses easy anticheat

For anyone impatient but interested in the fact why "banning VMs for gaming" is no good: 16:52

Rainbow Six Seige kicked me for playing on a VM and I am using Unraid

[@kaveesha11]

And this was my first experience

Microsoft should have left the Windows 10X project to mobile devices and keep the desktop experience intact. Now we get the worst of both worlds on both form factors. *big sigh* I invested into another SSD to put into my gaming rig and at least get comfortable tinkering in GNU/Linux as a main OS if it ever happened to become necessary. Too bad that you can't do nice stuff like X11 forwarding from Windows to Linux for the Win-only apps.

I'm sorry Jon. I'm not trying to be a Jerk. But I desperately need M1 VM support. I understand the democratic system. However, with the rapid change of infrastructure to the new silicone evolving, I feel as though it is an unfair suggestion to place the platform change which they are undergoing, up for vote, as it completely precludes people who need VMs from moving forward on their focus (which is just as inevitable as the aforementioned A.I. Hacking... though demonstrably more, as it has already begun transition). I mean, Soon OSX won't be available to unraid users who need it, due to arbitrary voting prioritization, which will have been done in principal with seeming complete disregard to the repercussions of a logically undeniable coming conclusion. I appreciation the the team's time and attention to read my concerns. I truly appreciate you all (regardless of whether any of you ultimately agree with me on this matter) and I wish you all well.
