Now if only they could more clearly communicate when games are playable offline.

Is this a Linux problem? I've never had to look for this detail before in Windows.

I imagine the alternative way to combat kernel-level cheats would be asking player for all his game state data, validating it on a server?

Wouldn't work on peer-to-peer and you'd have to do a bunch of unnecessary compute(recalculating every tick if player-generated data is possible according to game rules) but its the only way I can think of.
