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.

What distro? Framework compatibility should be pretty smooth iirc.

Bazzite for me, runs all my games basically 2x as good as Windows. A game that I’d run on low-med graphics and get around 60-70 fps on Windows I can usually run at med-high and get 100.

I7-5930k and an Rx5700 with a 3440x1440 resolution.

Okay that’s wild! Props to you for being able to pull that off!

We need to see a screen recording, with screen touches showing, of you using this…

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!

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.

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 thought Emacs was an OS? 😏

Bazzite has been amazing for me!

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

A Very Brief Analysis: The Phantom Menace

Ooh good ol’ Theo. The guy is quite something…

I mean I’ve been daily driving Linux and more recently Bazzite specifically for games and everything else without issue.

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.
