Microsoft has officially announced its intent to move security measures out of the kernel, following the Crowdstrike disaster a few short months ago. The removal of kernel access for security solutions would likely revolutionise running Windows games on the Steam Deck and other Linux systems.
Kernel level anti cheat is still bypassed so why do so many people just accept a literal ring-0 rootkit if it doesn’t even axcomplish its intended goal?
Because so many people have no clue. They don’t even know what ring-0 access means.
Because people are technologically inept and buy into the propaganda that kernel-level anticheat is more effective than the alternative solutions.
