Let the server admin/mods deal with it.

Games shouldn’t be serious about anti-cheat.

You could use a usb sd card reader but it’s more a comment on how this is a nothing burger.

You can do that on any computer…

DMCA incoming.

but windows binaries will not run directly on Linux hence they’ll need reinstalling in that case.

Create a wine prefix, point it to the binary.

On Lutris this is “add already installed game”

On Steam this is “add non-steam game”

Though if you point your steam library to the location of the games it will detect them as already installed, then you can go to properties and tell it to use proton or set all non-linux games to use proton. (Proton is a wine wrapper with a steam dependency)

World.

Nothing to deal with, either use a distro that comes with them or download them during install.

You will have to reinstall with your other solution.

Though if you have it on a separate drive you can add them to lutris or steam and use the existing install.

Buy any and grab a linux iso.

No need to give money to Valve.

That isn’t the purpose of creating a copy of your identity.

You could get a scanner.

Could I have a copy of your birth certificate and passport?

They shouldn’t know what their users are doing, they are providers not monitors, so how can they be accountable?

Futurama did it first.

Tooth fairy isn’t unionized.

On one hand it’s definitely needed, on the other it’s surveillance.

I don’t think it’s up to the parents because if they were informed enough to make that decision then the kids wouldn’t be on it.

They really need to split all those things off.

Are they a store? A launcher? A forum?

They should pick one thing and let other people do the others.
