online anti cheats are the worst thing - eviltoast

Recently, i had to move from nixos to windows against my will simpy because of anti cheats. While i dont game that much, the few games i enjoy playing are all online with some kind of anti cheat. I used to dual boot but i was tired of having to wait for my slow hdd to load windows (i only have one ssd). I literally used linux for everything else but because of anti cheats i am forced to move to windows. I managed to make it a little better by using wsl2 and removing bloatware but it will never be the same as linux

    using LUA is an interesting idea to say the least but again likely wouldn’t prevent or demotivate current cheaters from doing their thing.

      It wouldn’t get rid of the issue, I agree. But it would divert some of the cheating community away from fighting against the developers to playing by the developers rules.

      Treating all cheaters as a monolith is really limiting which is kinda my point haha
