Since when does Steam need to run as root?
In a bit paranoid so I run Stream as a separate minimally-privileged user out of its own home directory, but "rootkit"? Come on...
- gcb0 10y agoon windows it runs as admin. never used on linux, but i wouldnt be surprised that your low user would be denied to play counter strike online
- chei0iaV 10y agoI would. I'm sure I'd there was a game that required root privileges on Linux, I would have heard of it. Doubly so considering it apparently works well on wine. I don't have CS and don't have any interest in buying it, but I'd welcome being proven wrong. (I would be more apt to consider telemetry-era Windows a rootkit, personally :)
