VFIO Gaming. How to avoid the Virtual Machine Detection-Ban from anti-cheat programs. A Battleye - RainbowSix October of 2023 example.

Friendly Reminder VFIO Linux Gamers. Anti-cheat programs were always the reason and we couldn't play Windows games on Linux with Wine.          Before start writing the solution of how i avoided the Virtual Machine Detection-Ban from the anti-cheat programs and i am playing my games on a VFIO Virtual Machine without fear, i feel the need to write some historical and tech facts to make my article valid from the beginning and to help the current and future anti-cheat developers to not repeat the mistakes of the past.      1. Virtual Machines (VM in short) like QEMU on KVM (that the VFIO Linux Kernel Driver uses) are not hacking programs and never were hacking programs and even Microsoft are using VM and they created their program for Virtual Machines with name Virtual-PC, Hyper-V now to use it for many serious tasks like the creation of Windows for tests and practices or the Windows OS image Backup program that is inside every Windows Control Panel!...

How to Share a Folder from Linux Host to Windows 10 Guests on KVM. A Debian 11 (Bullseye) Guide.

 After many months, i finally moved everything from Windows to Linux but i am still playing my games on Windows with KVM VFIO.     Recently, i created a very cheap Linux - Debian gaming-streaming* VFIO PC where i can play some lovely games from my tablet in home or from any internet PC with Moonlight & Sunshine streams (future guides but i will add their links as references at the bottom of this guide so you know what i am talking about) and to support my home network with a Streaming PC to handle my family's streams with total cost less than 400 euro (future post too) and i wanted to have a shared folder from the Linux Hosts to Windows 10 gaming guests*.     I am chosing the Linux Host - Windows Guest implementation over the Windows Host - Windows Guest because i think the OS diversity increases the security of implementation and it minimizes the risk of infection of host from its guests and vice versa.

How to Share a Folder from Linux KVM Host to Linux KVM Guests. A Debian 11 (Bullseye) guide.

 This Guide is the first of the many articles that will cover the tech part of my movement from Windows to Linux for everything including... gaming!      Recently, i have been experimenting  with Linux guests on a Linux KVM Host that i will use as streaming PC because of Software Raid 1 and i faced a problem when i tried to share a folder from the KVM Host to KVM Guest on a Debian 11 KVM. Of course there is an easy way to move files from KVM Guests with usb disks or flash drives (with Virt Manager is just an Add Hardware > Usb Host Device) but after a while this mount procedure on Linux KVM Guest becomes annoying...    So, i started searching for a permanent way to share a folder from the Host Machine to its Linux Guest and i found a better way than all the promoted ways i found on the internet and without changing the permissions of the libvrt service by taking the root permissions like many suggest on their guides or by changing the shared folder ...
