alt Hacker NewsI don't think we're talking about the same thing, I was specifically referring to Epic Games' efforts to add effective AC to linux via secureboot + signed kernels + a kernel module + remote attestation

The entire point is to lock down a user's linux install so that they can't interfere with the anticheat.

That is so disgusting... They're never going to stop, will they?
Had missed those news, previous EAC and all other Linux AC have been completely useless. Would still prefer to boot into a game image that is locked down rather than Epic requiring me to lock down normal distros.
