    Good for those who need Microslop compatibility, but seems like more effort than just loading up linux.

      I’m unfortunately a person who has to deal with kernel level anti cheat due to my preference in games, this was the top level route I took to try medicate my hardware.

        who has to… due to my preference

        Re-read what you wrote.

        Nobody “has to” play those games. When doing so comes at the cost of property rights and self-respect (let alone the increasing time wasted on workarounds), is it really worth it?

          Dual booting always exists. (And honestly moving all your other stuff to a separate OS the “anticheat” doesn’t know how to touch is probably the best way to keep yourself safe.)

          I had to quit League of Legends for Linux Mint. Among my gaming friends it’s gone from a bit of a joke to being a selling point.

          A buddy of mine wanted to install Linux Mint on his desktop, but didn’t have a USB drive to put the installer on (Gen-Z I swear). I offered to have one delivered from a local retailer, but it became a “bit” that I didn’t care enought to send him a pre-configured drive.

          Anyway I loaded up Nyarch on a USB drive and mailed it to him. Also advised him not to install software from a USB drive sent through the mail, even if it is from someone he knows and “trusts.”
