I can actually confirm this a little, when Elden Ring came out, it ran really poorly on Windows so rebooted to my Linux os and was getting a solid 15-25 more fps. It even made one of my friends install Linux just to get the performance boost.

True, it is not worth the risk. But if this person is not in a country where you can easily get a jig legally then they can at least try the foil method.

I counter this, I have a V1 and have only used the foil DYI method and it works flawlessly every time I needed to do it again.
