> In my opinion, the debate about kernel anti-cheat on Windows is fear-mongering

I don't think a lot of people who complain about kernel anti-cheat actually play competitive games.

I feel someone doesn't need to play competitive games to be able to give an honest assessment of the privacy & security risks.

I'm sad I'm not seeing that honesty elsewhere in this thread.

It certainly is helpful to understand the mindset of a person who: a.) their hobby is to play competitive games which mandate kernel level (or similar intrusive anti-cheat)

b.) either accepts the requirements or builds sufficient security gapping to make it a nonconsideration.

These people exist, and would say in an honest assesmment that the above behavior is no more rights-intrusive than what 99 percent of the tech absorbing population allow today.

Exactly, those people are installing Windows in the first place, it's already an entire spyware OS. It doesn't matter cause they pretty much only use it only for games.
