  I'd settle for that solution anyways, but only as long as users can still mix and match kernels (one for secure boot and games that require anti-cheat, and another for custom hardware)

  Which is why I prefer the MacOS approach better - instead of relying on the developer adding a hypervisor, Apple uses binary signatures for all the relevant system files which are attested via something similar to Secure Boot, plus an Apple-provided API for runtime attestation, to ensure that the system has not been touched since boot. I suspect that Valve's assistance in making Arch Linux builds reproducible is pointing towards that goal.

  Considering that Vanguard has already been bypassed at least once (see dailydarkweb.net/vanguard-bypa… ), I think somebody must already know if the tool is ultimately malicious or not. Problem is, the somebody that knows has a vested interest in not disclosing any details, being a cheat bypasser and all.

  That's precisely why I haven't so much as touched any games if they don't support Linux with their anti-cheat solution. The developers of Apex Legends proudly announcing that dropping support for Linux made cheaters drop "significantly" doesn't sit well with me, and in fact I suspect EA is doing something malicious that can't be feasibly detected precisely because of their kernel-level access. And don't even get me started with Tencent-funded Riot's Vanguard, it's practically guaranteed that China will eventually demand to use it as a backdoor someday.

  A shame that many multiplayer game developers, like EA and Riot, still consider Linux to be too unsafe to trust with an anti-cheat. I wonder if Valve is working on a proper solution for that - signed kernels and packages a la MacOS, perhaps?

  People are still unwilling to just go without Big Media and boycott it entirely. Until they do, they will keep abusing their clients.

  @deegeese @BrikoX If it's light enough to be added liberally to a smartphone without turning it into a brick, it probably is light enough to add it to a car roof with no major weight added. The question is, will it actually absorb enough sunlight to fill a car battery?

  @Fubarberry I've been using a hack to use Decky Loader on Windows and non-Deck Linux, and at the very least it allows me to use themes and add info to the interface. I wonder if Decky Loader 3 has official support for either of these.
