    Enabling anticheat means the user must sacrifice many of their core freedoms just to play a video game.

    Lots of games support anti-cheat in Linux. It’s critical to note that anti-cheat in general is not the issue.

    Kernel-level anti-cheat however is. It’s a massive security issue and something that everyone, including Windows users, should roundly reject.

      No, all client side anti cheats are bad and won’t work. The user space ones are still privacy risks and most importantly is absolutely useless against someone who is determined to cheat.
