My brother claims that Vanguard for League can do the same to gaming PCs that install it as CrowdStrike did to businesses who installed that, is this true? Does Vanguard have as much access/power? (lemm.ee)

I play HD2 under proton. Even if there is a rootkit, it's sandboxed.

    Proton is not actually sandboxed the way an actual container is.

    A) if the program running in proton was given root access in some way, say by tricking people into entering their root password for a claimed update, it would have complete normal control of your entire system just like normal.

    B)apps running in proton still have access to the regular file system.

    Wine isn't an emulator or a vm.
