I cant open my Genshin Impact Game

I installed the launcher for Genshin but when I press launch, it closes.

This game use some kernel anti-cheat software.
Unfortunately, this isn't supported yet in Wine

PS. Don't run Wine as root!

But I saw someone play Genshin using wine : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdT1xAv_wDc
and if not, then isn't there anyway I can play Genshin on Linux without VM?

A patch is available, but Wine does not provide support for it.
