This. I’d move to Linux in a heartbeat if certain anticheats for certain competetive games had supports for it. (i.e. faceit anticheat)

Play premier instead! I suck and have hugh trust so I never see any cheaters.
how do you actually accept having a rootkit installed on your system?
Presumably, yes, if they're playing it on a different OS.
I just dont understand how anyone can go "yeah okay lets install these guys rootkit complete with keylogger and who knows what, totally legit!", and for what? to play a game
its easier for me to just have 2 different system for work and entertainment honestly
Even easier is to just give up on competitive games, at a certain point it becomes another job and you know... not fun?

I think Starcraft 2 broke me from this habit, once you're studying various metas rather than having fun you need to take a step back and reevaluate.

Studying metas can in fact be fun for people. It's mentally stimulating.
destroying kids in multiplayer games is fun, wdym by that
