My solution to games not supporting Steam Deck/Linux is to simply not buy/play it. It’s not much but it’s honest work!

Same. There are anyway much more games than one can find time to play them.

This^ The road to Linux gaming has already been paved. It’s just missing one or two exits.

Sometimes kernel level anti-cheat is good for the consumer, actually.

I was about to relapse and install league of legends, but then vanguard for league was announced, which immediately cured me <3

Yeah if league starts working on linux again then I’ll probably relapse as well :/

I have saved a lot of money by scrolling down and seeing “Denuvo.”

Kernel level anti cheat is still bypassed so why do so many people just accept a literal ring-0 rootkit if it doesn’t even axcomplish its intended goal?

Because so many people have no clue. They don’t even know what ring-0 access means.

Because people are technologically inept and buy into the propaganda that kernel-level anticheat is more effective than the alternative solutions.

Microsoft aren’t kicking people out of kernel space but expanding the capabilities in user space to minimize the reasons to need to run security components in kernel mode so they can develop and deploy solutions with minimal risk (no security vendor wants that risk when they’re running on business/enterprise machines like CrowdStrike).

Kicking everyone out of the kernel is a long journey and even Apple, who are much further along this path, still haven’t completely closed the door on kernel extensions. It’ll be several Windows versions yet before kernel drivers are no longer a thing.

You mean to say that my great-grandson can finally play Destiny 2 on Linux? Sweet!

You can be sure that MS finds a way to either bust it or make it anticompetitive.
