@t8d I think it's the other way around, reading from /proc/self/cwd just internally calls something like getcwd so it has the same problem...

OK I fixed it https://github.com/containers/libkrun/pull/191

@jkunkee This wasn't an app compat/emulation issue, it was just a bug in the virtual filesystem implementation of libkrun ^^;;

No emulation involved...

@slp Hey I worked on the GPU driver too! ^^;;

@slyecho Just one minimal x86 rootfs for FEX (and the host arm64 filesystem for the native OS). No more ^^ (unless you count the wine prefixes that Proton makes automatically)

@slyecho The guide mentions a distrobox container just so you don't mess around with your host OS, but you don't need it, it's just safer while the packages are in flux ^^

@slyecho You don't really want an OCI image since it's not a stand-alone container, it's just an overlay which is intended to overlay your arm64 binaries with x86 ones ^^

@micr0 FEX-Emu!

lina OP , vor einem Monat

@cuddle Yes, it's like Rosetta (though pretty different architecturally) ^^

lina OP , vor einem Monat

@gabboman Yes ^^ (with some changes and some new builds!)

@synfi To get proton working you need a krun VM, FEX-Emu, and unreleased versions of multiple components and libraries ^^

@patrick It's the Linux OpenGL version! Our OpenGL drivers are better than Apple's in many ways so it wouldn't surprise me if it runs better (I hear Minecraft also runs better on Asahi ^^)

@sterophonick All OpenGL only!

@DenJohn It always had that, but it's a hack that doesn't work with Wine... I don't know why they announced it like that, it's misleading.

As far as I know the only thing that changed in the new release is that the 16K hacks are now enabled at runtime instead of having to do a special 16K build at compile time. But there's no way to make those hacks fully compatible, that's why we're working on microVMs. If it were possible to do cleanly without a VM we wouldn't be spending all this time on VMs ^^

Regular 4K box64 in the krun VM would be interesting to compare to FEX though!

@cperon It's all in flux and not really ready to be released widely ^^

Once things stabilize and settle down a bit more, maybe!

@edinbruh No, Rosetta is only licensed to run on VMs in macOS, not on native Linux ^^

(And besides it's closed source and we can't improve it so it doesn't make much sense!)

@teohhanhui Did you increase the microVM RAM allocation? The default 4G is unusable for steam + any game...

Stardew Valley worked fine for me (and all the other games) once I increased the RAM to 10G ^^

@ayke Regular programs should work already, but stuff that accesses hardware directly is going to be a problem since the microVM cannot pass that through... I don't think that will ever work as seamlessly as on macOS due to the extra VM layer, sorry!

(I thought there were native open source apps to use the Saleae on Linux though? Sigrok maybe? You could also try the Linux app on box64 with the page size hacks, maybe it'll work?)

lina OP , vor einem Monat

@niko That's the goal~ ^^

@teohhanhui @slp I think it should be set to 80% or so, yeah, though this is iffy until some change is made to bypass the guest page cache ^^ (Sergio said it's coming)

There's also a GPU memory leak in krun, but that accidentally helped me test memory pressure and the VM seems to fairly gracefully get swapped out/zram compressed when it's too much so I think it will work ^^

I also mentioned to Sergio that we should definitely look into a client-server architecture so there is only ever one krun VM even if you launch multiple apps from the host, since multiple VMs competing for RAM is probably a bad idea...
