    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

        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.
