Well, buddy… I got news for you!

Also, (and this is from security research articles here) most kernel level anticheats seem to focus more on datamining than anticheat (see: anything from tencent)

Its so bad that a lot of corporate environments ban any work being done on machines that also have them installed (source: my employer)

Over time more and more anricheat companies have realised that personal data is gold and they are harvesting more and more of it.

Trained assassin is a huge red flag.

Ah yes, the shitty new boeing turbulence radar strikes again. Expect more of these in future!

More and more games are shipping with mega sus kernel level anti cheat which can (and does according to their EULA) take screenshots and files from your PC to make sure you “aren’t cheating”.

Valorant, for example, is made by riot, owned by tencent, owned by the Chinese government, and has a nasty kernel anti cheat in it.

So this means that with essentially no effort or changes the Chinese gov can just take this file and related screenshots of everything you do wrapped in a bow

And they 100% will do this.

Except for the overview transition, which is more like sharpened gravel.

There is tactile plasma holograms like right now. Dropped only a week or two ago.

Well, Ubuntu is definitely not the way to go. They are very microsofty at the moment and keep trying to make snaps happen, and they aren’t gonna happen.

Wanna game? Use nobara OS, and if that is too hard then try bazzite. Literally all the tinkering is baked in for gaming by the guy who makes alternative windows emulator runtimes and hes a straight fucking boss.
