I'm fine with game anticheats not having root access.
I don't disagree, but it's MY machine. I can choose to not use the apps that want kernel access, which is about the only thing we can do.
The reason anti-cheats use kernel is because end users keep playing the games. I don't have a good answer here, because too many people just can't be bothered to understand their tacit agreement to this garbage
Yes, and you don't need to install Windows on your machine.
At this point I'm scared to install a game without doing a research of what kind of intrusive software it uses. Sometimes it's just safer to install it on a console.
