My point is you would either have to run those modules on Linux or not play the games. Which is the same as running them on Windows or not play the games with the exception that you’d lose the games that run on Linux with userland anticheat now.
They don’t. One article lied, people never read anything but the title and here we are this getting mentioned every once in a while.
And then your keys will be rejected by the anticheat. Just because you can sign your kernel and load it does not mean a kernel module can’t verify who signed it.
Kernel level anti cheats require secure boot. You can’t just “lie” and load an unsigned kernel.
Sure hope not. If I wanted to run rookits I’d just use Windows. Why bother with Linux?
This is why I don’t want more Linux adoption and don’t understand people cheering every new user. We’re in a sweet spot where a lot of games enable userland anticheat while we don’t get kernel level ports (however they may be shipped doesn’t matter). The only thing that’ll come out of more adoption is kernel level anticheat ports that’ll probably work with a few corporate backed distros only and we’ll actually lose the games we have today. Because those will switch over the kernel level alternatives too.
The only way I’d like Linux to be a generic multiplayer platform is server side anticheats. It is very obviously the way to go and we are seeing extremely slow adoption (e.g. Marvel Rivals).
What’s your point?
Yeah the comment I responded to did
It doesn’t matter whether a server claims to run free software or not. You can’t verify what it’s running. That’s why E2EE is designed entirely around the client. You can’t trust the server no matter what.
You can’t just write three paragraphs (that contain half-truth, half-misinformation) about how Signal is the middleman and then conclude “you can assume there’s no middleman”. You can’t assume that. Signal is the middleman. There’s no arguments to be made against this. Signal doesn’t claim they aren’t the middleman either.

If you want to be mainstream a) you can’t have spammers, scammers, and all the other scum of the earth and b) finding your contacts in the app HAVE TO be plug and play. Literally no normie will bother adding with usernames or whatever.
no middleman
Signal is not P2P
Use docker if you want peace of mind
People miss the fact that we can tell when one of them make a questionable decision which is what matters the most.
I am not an expert on secure boot so I can’t tell whether that’s possible or not. But if it is, what stops people from doing that with Windows now?
