Will kernel-level anti-cheat ever work on linux?
(lemmy.zip)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

where did i say it's less secure? I said it will be coded around. as in forked and the changes patched out/worked around. The point is that it's pointless to even try. Because it won't work for those who do choose to use it, due to all the ones bypassing it
If the Kernel is not signed, then it does not matter. The whole point of signed Kernels is to only execute that specific code. Its not pointless. But besides that, even if you don't like Open Source, nobody said the Anticheat software has to be open source. This is something you implied. I don't think any of the Anticheat companies would Open Source it anyway, so this was not my suggestion at all.
