I mean, ring 0 calls cannot be run on wine at all, hypervisor pretty much works with that level of priviledge, but you should be able to run it under another VM.

Nope. Sometimes they can't even get it working on all CPUs.
I've heard it's possible to play them on a Windows virtual machine on Linux but I have no clue how bad the performance hit would be stacking hypervisors like that.

I was able to find it, but I wonder if it works

Oh brother, the post inside is talking about Single-GPU passthrough.
It's doable and I've done it before but fair warning: it can be a serious pain in the ass, especially if you have a GPU that doesn't reset right and hangs every other attempt lmaooo 🥲

More to your point, the hypervisor is OS-specific. On my end, it's more of a skill issue but I have run into issues getting Linux virtual machine tools running outside of VirtualBox. The software was looking for explicit infrastructure I was struggling to provide. I eventually figured out qEMU, but that's besides the point.

I'm going to counter and say that it might be possible for these solutions to work on Linux, but you will first need to satisfy the hardware requirements. Once you meet that then it's possible to try with a Windows compatibility layer, but then you are shooting in the dark.

Lastly, while the crackers themselves have a reputation to uphold, they and their software can both be compromised. The article is very clear about the risks. Most people running Linux are not using secure boot, and the hypervisor is an unauditabe container.
