My problem with Windows is the kernel level anticheat that comes with online games. On linux these anticheats only have user privileges, and still allow you to play online. That alone is just such a massive advantage that the ~10 games that don‘t run on Linux are negligible to me. Also it‘s the publisher‘s choice they only work on Windows so fuck ’em!
Sure. But Window’s itself already has Kernel level access. So, I feel like if you’re running Windows the issue of some gaming company having kernel level access is much less concerning to me than a genocide supporting software weapons manufacturer.
Like, I’m against the gaming companies having kernel access. But if you’re running Windows in 2025 you’re already sharing all of your data with one of the most malicious companies that exists. Microsoft is currently on the level of the many American companies that worked with the Nazis. I guess my point is that Riot having access to my keystrokes is the least of my concerns if I’m on Windows.
