Attached: 1 image ✨ We got a bunch of Steam games to run on Asahi Linux!!! ✨ Most of them run at a solid 60FPS and all of them are playable on my M2 Pro~ 🚀 All running on a krun microVM with FEX and full TSO support 💪 I was not expecting Party Animals to run! That's a DX11 game, running with the classic WineD3D on our OpenGL 4.6 driver! 🤯 Watch the stream: ▶️ https://youtube.com/live/JT9a_MrFV18

    The post doesn’t answer the questions, it’s why I asked.

    It says:

    All running on a krun microVM with FEX and full TSO support 💪

    I was not expecting Party Animals to run! That’s a DX11 game, running with the classic WineD3D on our OpenGL 4.6 driver!

    Now I know some of these words, but it does not answer my question.

      Man ,idk why everyone is being a dick to you. A MicroVM is a virtual machine that only emulates a small subset of an entire OS (a container basically). FEX is an x86 emulator. So yes, this is emulation.

        Thanks.

        FEX is an x86 emulator

        So my real question is really about this: common wisdom is that emulating a whole CPU architecture is a performance killer. Does that apply here, and are they just running games that can take the hit? Or phrased differently: given that it’s emulated, could this ever have near-native (CPU) performance, or nah?

          Probably not, but it might be good enough. I’m not an expert in architecture emulation by any stretch, but it might work best for older games where modern performance is a non issue either way.

      You asked how it works, the post states how it works. You also asked if it’s slow, which is clearly answered in the post (though you didn’t quote that part). You also asked if there’s some “secret sauce” allowing it to be fast, which is also a weird question since everything used is listed in the post.

      If something wasn’t clear to you, why not specifically ask about it? Even in this comment, you still don’t specify what you don’t understand. What kind of answer are you expecting to get?

      You can Google the words you don’t know, and find out that it does in fact answer your question.
