So all that developers need to do is...... have a linux version.

To repeat something I sort of said in response to someone else: If a publisher is scummy enough to have kernel-level anticheat in their game, they're not going to give up kernel access just to appease a tiny minority of gamers.

Take Valorant for example. The one thing I know about Valorant is that cheats for Tarkov don't work if Valorant is installed on your pc. This tells me that Valorant's anticheat is doing things at all times, even when the game isn't running, and I'm not ok with that.

Personally, I recommend just not playing those games. I've been having a great time with warframe and factorio. If I really feel the urge for a competitive arena shooter, I'll boot up unreal tournament classic and play against bots. For those who don't like my choices, there's tons of other options. I digress.

In order for OP's ask to actually be fullfilled in the manner I interpret to be desired, kernel-level anticheat needs to die alltogether. I see 2 ways for this to happen, neither of which are likely: A) Microsoft secures the windows kernel so that it can't be modified, thus forcing standard practice to change. B) Linux overtakes windows as the dominant pc OS, thus forcing standard practice to change.

Can i not bitch about how shit things have been? Or that these fixes shouldn't even be necessary because they could have just not fucked it up in the first place?

every metric for intelligence is bullshit to some degree or another. Yet, some people are actually dumber than others. IQ is a concise term that gets the point across, for the sake of communication, what more do you want?

i just didn't want to say 25 years ago and have someone 'um akshuly' me about when emulation started getting viable.

Fiction has utterly failed to predict how stupid reality has become.

How many stories have we seen where a billionaire ceo becomes president? In fiction, they were always handsome, charming, highly intelligent, so on and so forth. Reality though, oooof.

If you're looking for a label, I recommend not. Soon after you pick one, the definition for that label will change and no longer fit your ideology. This change might be due to your own understanding improving, or due to societal shifts, or both.

Write out your ideology in long form. People tend to support good ideas when not attached to politically charged labels.

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.

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".
