After what happened with CrowdStrike, it seems Microsoft is determined to close its kernel to antivirus software, although it doesn’t mention anything about anti-cheat software. That’s why I’m wondering: Do you think it’s possible that something like macOS could happen, where they won’t allow any kernel-level installations?

If this happen, I imagine that video game companies would have to do away with these anti-cheats, and these games could be played on Linux. I was overjoyed just thinking I could uninstall Windows forever. What do you think?
