I believe its only there because of the kernel panic pun.
- TheCraiggers 6y agoNo, I'm pretty sure it's there because installing something that runs at ring 0 can do anything on your system. Look at all your internet traffic, files, make you go bald, etc. Any sane security-minded person should slightly panic IMHO.
- AdamJacobMuller 6y agoOr just run games on a computer dedicated to the task.
- 0_gravitas 6y agoOf course you understand that that is not a reasonable solution.
- jarfil 6y agoThere are gaming consoles, or you can just not run their games, it's not like there aren't literally thousands to choose from. They're also just games, cheating is not a life or death thing, or it shouldn't be. Alternatively, you could stream a game from a remote server like on Stadia. These anti-cheat systems are only for online games anyway, and you can let Google deal with their kernel driver.
- foota 6y agoCan't you just run two oses alongside each other?
- AdamJacobMuller 6y ago"annoying" when dealing with graphics cards / passthrough if you're talking about virtualization and probably would not be allowed since the hypervisor would be a ring above the kernel module, effectively neutering it. If you mean dual-boot, sure, that's a very reasonable solution as well. I just don't like to reboot often and would personally have a 2nd computer as it probably takes me an hour or more to go from "booted" to "productive"
- AdamJacobMuller 6y agoI didn't write a comment suggesting a thing because I considered it unreasonable and on reflection, no, I don't think it's unreasonable.
