      Enabling anticheat means the user must sacrifice many of their core freedoms just to play a video game. And in principle anticheat will never fully prevent cheating short of pointing a camera at the user and watch them the whole time they are playing.

      I hope Linux community can push back. This whole thing is idiotic and harms the consumers.

        Lots of games support anti-cheat in Linux. It’s critical to note that anti-cheat in general is not the issue.

        Kernel-level anti-cheat however is. It’s a massive security issue and something that everyone, including Windows users, should roundly reject.
