No. It's a video game. Publishers have no business being in my kernel.
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?
Hu? You don’t need to type root password to load a kernel module automatically , do you?
I mean, do you have to type the root pw if you plug in a wifi dongle that requires an out-of-tree module?
As far as I understand, you have to type root pw only for installation and update of the module and, depending on distribution, even that is not really visible since you type root pw to install tons of stuff all the time.
Let's rephrase: Have you ever needed to enter your root password while installing a game through a launcher such as Steam?
How would that kernel module be installed if nowhere from installing to actually running the game did it have access to the kernel?
Anticheats on Linux don’t have kernel access
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.
Don't give corpos any ideas
Where did I say I wanted kernel anti-cheat?
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".
It's implied, because anything would behave the same.
Not that client-side anti-cheat makes any sense anyway.
Well i didn’t imply that.
