I admit I don't know a damn thing about this stuff, but is there any chance this could improve cases where anti-cheat becomes an issue?

    Probably not. Wine translates Windows kernel calls to their equivalent Linux kernel calls. Kernel level anti-cheat runs in the kernel space, so it’s not compatible with Wine. That being said, there are Linux versions of most kernel level anti-cheat, game vendors just don’t support them.

    Client-side anti-cheat is a lie that makes your computer less secure.

    No thanks.

    Anti-cheat belongs on the vendor's hardware, not our untrusted client CPUs.

    Is that true on Wine/Linux? I tried to look this up a little while ago, but the little I found (that I could understand) was fairly vague. The best I could gather is that "kernel level" anti-cheat in a Linux compatible game runs at the same permission level as the game, so it's not really the same level of concern. Am I misunderstanding that or missing something?
