I don't remember what program, but I remember coming across some people who didn't feel comfortable giving games like Valorant and Genshin Impact kernel level access so ran it on what they called bare metal or something running it off another drive. Maybe it was Ventoy?
Have wondered if a dedicated drive for just pirated software and games would help keep the main system safer with how cheap ssds have gotten. Maybe a way to run it off an external ssd while blocking off access to other storage that doesn't have pirated content?
I don't care about the other instances to be honest. I'm here for piracy. This is the most valuable instance in all the fediverse to me. If I had to choose dozens over here I'd choose to be here.
