I’m currently using APatch, PIFork in script-only mode, and Tricky Store with a leaked keybox.

If you need to spoof for apps you’ll need some other stuff. For APatch there’s a thing called Cherish Peekaboo, for KernelSU you can use Shamiko. These will do their best to hide the fact that you’re rooted from apps. There are some detector apps that can help you fix things that apps might see, but there not entirely needed.

Also since you’re not on the stock ROM, you’ll need to spoof your props so just use the regular Play Integrity fix.

You can still pass play integrity with a rooted phone/custom ROM. Mine is currently passing with strong while rooted.

You guys are getting paid for being on call?!

Ooh I understand that it’s for AI, I just meant that more RAM would certainly help in this case.

If this is enabled by default it’ll certainly be needed, especially in cases like multitasking.

Aah yeah Nvidia still has some stuff to work out on Linux, but fortunately for me I’m running AMD. Hopefully the Nvidia support gets better soon.

Bazzite has been astoundingly good for me. The only games that have issues are usually those with kernel-level anti-cheat and tbh I wouldn’t play those anyways if I was running Windows (although I understand that’s a deal breaker for some).

Support for Bazzite is fantastic too. Kyle and the rest of the folks on Discord are amazing!

Or just use Bazzite. Already supports multiple handhelds, desktop, and you can have the same exact experience of opening into big picture like the Steamdeck if you’d like.

Fair point. At least with stock rooted as I said there’s ways around it and I can pass all play integrity checks and such.

Even just being rooted on the stock Pixel rom is a fight. It’s a constant cat and mouse game to pass basic and device integrity, but as of recently a lot of us have been able to pass strong integrity as well which has been nice.

Seconded.

Yeah I can back this. I switched to Bazzite about 6+ months ago after messing with Linux on the Steamdeck and I haven’t looked back.

I switched to Bazzite about 1/2 a year ago and haven’t looked backed. Better performance, more stable, I can do dev work that I’m used to without WSL and such.

The best part is I have absolutely 0 incentive to play games that come with a kernel-level rootkit anticheat too!

I thought Emacs was an OS? 😏

If I bring my own food and consume it indoors it is indoor food. If I ate it outside, it would be outside food. /s

8 hours? Come on, we can do better than that.

A Very Brief Analysis: The Phantom Menace

Weird. I use Bazzite which is off of Kinoite and the upgrade from 39 -> 40 was seamless.

I run PopOS on my T450s. Runs like a dream, but probably not considered 'lightweight .

Rooting your phone if possible is always a nice solution to this. BCR works great for me(along with BCR GUI). I can also still use my banking and Google wallet apps (you just need the right apps/modules)

Out of curiosity, any examples? I know for NYC people use Citymapper, but that’s available for most big cities.
