From both a technical perspective and if the maintainers of these anti-cheat will consider porting or re-writing kernel level anti-cheat to work on linux, is it possible? Do you think that the maintainers of kernel level anti-cheat will be adamant in not doing it, or that the kernel even supports it or will support it. I think that if it ever happens, there will be a influx of people moving to linux, or abandoning their duelboots, and that alot of people will hate that such a thing is available on linux.

    Absolutely nothing prevents somebody from writing a kernel level anticheat on Linux.

    Users would throw a fit, and it would be way easier to bypass, but it certainly could be made.

      It would need to be open source, distributing proprietary kernel modules is a nightmare that can cause the OS to fail to boot after every kernel update. An open source anticheat kernel module would probably be useless and easy to bypass.

        It doesn’t “need” to be anything. It could be a DKMS module that is mandatory for playing a game.

        Whether people would like it and use it is a completely different story.
