From the article

Microsoft has officially announced its intent to move security measures out of the kernel, following the Crowdstrike disaster a few short months ago. The removal of kernel access for security solutions would likely revolutionise running Windows games on the Steam Deck and other Linux systems.

I just found this thread as well could not be a good thing for us Linux users.

As a long time cs gamer I approve of this change but I warn ye regardless that there is no alternative or viable solution to actually stop cheaters right now.

And if you've only heard stories and don't really experience cs (vac kind of does nothing)

Ive kept track of players for months/years who have not been banned. I find it strange that they eventually do get banned several months after cheating. It took one account nearly 2 years to get banned.

I hope that a clever solution comes out, a man can dream right ?

If it doesn't run on Linux it doesn't deserve my money at this point.

i agree and i don't buy unless it runs on linux now... but my steam library was purchased when i was on microshit's dicks.

but sometimes we got to take the L and move on. I just won't buy EA trash going forward.

And nothing was lost.

I'm okay with that. I don't want some program I don't control having access to the kernel of my system.
