    That unfortunately means, you can’t play a lot of games. And for most people it’s practically unknowable what the installer is doing, they don’t expect a game to nuke their computer.

    There needs to be accountability and a certain level of trust. Microsoft shouldn’t allow kernel drivers for crap like anti cheat.

      Yet another reason to use Linux. You don’t have to know weather the installer comes with a root kit, the installer will just fail 😎

        That’s… not remotely true? Linux can absolutely install kernel drivers. If you mean running windows games under wine then sure, but then we’re no longer talking apples:apples. You could do the same thing on windows by running a game in a VM.
