this is also a good argument. the anti cheat is impossible to implement in usermode, but you can hardly trust developerd with kernel mode drivers that trace all things.

im not sure if a gaming os would help there.

it would be helpful if OSes wouldnt allow things like malicious drivers but this is an extremely hard problem in light of people loading known vulnerable drivers and exploiting those...

you could argue that a lot of drivers could live in ring 1 or 2 rather than ring0, but that no OS implements.

working on an OS to try and think of solutions to this types of issues, but u know... if u can wait like 40 years maybe it will be done (and likely it will be vulnerable in different ways :(( )
