      Anticheats on Linux don’t have kernel access… Have you ever heard of people needing to type their root password to launch a steam game before?

        Yeah, I know. I’d like it to stay that way. Furthermore, this is also why games with kernel-level anticheat still don’t work on linux, despite developments in wine/proton.

        It’s implied, because anything would behave the same.

        Not that client-side anti-cheat makes any sense anyway.

        The post is about anticheat that doesn’t work on linux. Non-kernel-level anticheat works fine now thanks to wine/proton. That just leaves kernel-level anticheat. If a game has kernel-level anticheat, the studio is not going to remove it for the sake of a linux version. Therefore, to be compatible with linux, they would be introducing kernel-level anticheat into a linux version. To this, I say “fuck no”.
