    Which matters to? - Game cheaters with kernel level anti-cheat.

    Do you… know what “kernel level” means? Because it looks like you don’t.

    Also, kernel-level anti-cheat can be easily by-passed. See this video: Hacking into Kernel Anti-Cheats: How cheaters bypass Faceit, ESEA and Vanguard anti-cheats . You speak as if it is easy to cheat on Linux. Proper server-side anti-cheat would make the user’s OS of choice irrelevant.

    Which will protect them from root kits, boot kits, and keyloggers

    Protect you from Root Kits? Like the kernel-level anti-cheats that you installed? Root kits are malicious programs with kernel level access. Any kernel level program can be a root kit. That’s why you shouldn’t grand kernel access to code you don’t know. Especially when it turns on on startup. Looking at you Vanguard.

    Keyloggers? Like the one that’s pre-installed and labeled as “telemetry”.


    Listen, if you don’t like Linux, fine by my, but I won’t let you lie about it.

      So you’re correcting every lie (of which there are many) in Linux communities then, or is this personal?

      Apparently I misunderstood what I was reading and hearing. So, it’s Linux users that are cheating so much that they’re getting Linux players banned rather than it being Linux enabling them that’s the problem.
