I primarily use my pc for gaming, and want to avoid upgrading to Windows 11. Beginning the journey of looking into alternatives.

I am ignorant, trying to be less so. I have a hard time understanding what exactly makes a game not work just because of OS.

    Also to add to this is if windows users understood what kernel level anti-cheat does most people wouldn’t want it on windows ether.

        It runs in the kernel of the OS as a driver, which means that it’s basically a trusted malware that has even higher permission than the admin of the computer, and have access to more things than yourself, to closely monitor the whole system in order to find signs of cheating.
