Linux explicitely allows you to do things that makes cheating *really* easy.

There is also complete lack of secure boot and a way to validate that your kernel hasn't been compromised.

I mean seriously, making a cheat for a proton supported game that no anticheat has any hopes of detecting are in 100 lines of a kmod driver and 1 console command: insmod.

On windows you at least need to use scuffed tools like KDU to bypass signature verification requirements and every anticheat can detect you with a simple physical memory scan.





Linux supports secure boot just fine, it's just happy (correctly, IMO) to give the keys to the user and not the developer.

Unfortunately right now SteamOS does not support secure boot or measured boot.

yah my bad: vendor defined secure boot*

> There is also complete lack of secure boot

That's not true, though?


well lack of secure boot is bad wording, lack of vendor defined secure boot.
