Does this mean it'll work under Linux/Proton since it's a (proper?) executable crack?

Yes.
I’ve been out of the scene for a while, are denuvo cracks happening more often now?
Yes, apparently a custom hypervisor has been built that essentially allows you to bypass Denuvo on all games, but it appears that there's been good progress on removing Denuvo altogether again as well (like a more traditional crack).
Do you know if ordinary users can ignore Denuvo on their own using this custom hypervisor, or do we still rely on cracks made by suspicious hackers?
I wonder if the cost of licencing Denuvo outweighs the shrink from piracy...
Add in the cost of interested people who move on when they see "Uses Denuvo DRM" or whatever it says on the steam page.
I've got some games on my wishlist just to check back every now and then to see if they've removed it yet.
I’m like 60% sure piracy management is more meant to appease shareholders than to actually break even on Denuvo licensing.
