the only way anticheat can work is if they spec the device themselves

DI think the biggest w for Linux might be the $10M going to arm gaming
5That too was interesting
Kand somehow prevent the kernel from being swapped, that's firmly "closed source" territory
KI don't think that promise is going to materialize
Ai believe that an open source anticheat solution is possible
Abut i also believe theres not enough money in it
Ji will say i don't have much hope for playtron
Jguy behind the project is infamous for the "put a bullet in google's brain" statements from cyanogen inc
Jthat turned out well
Ji hope it works out but
Ayes you'd need to use a signed kernel, but theres technology to solve that. Now if they pay enough to solve it thats a different question
Ji'm not hopeful
5I think it’s forward thinking that a lot of goofy and cheap devices running Linux and powerful arm chips could use a solution like this
VWhat I find funny is "How are we combating cheating and attracting companies like epic games? Well, get this, we're based on Fedora silverblue"
Aits a lot easier for anticheat to be closed source
KMy POV is open source anti-cheat is 100% possible
Kon the server side
AI'm assuming it'll be pretty locked down if it wants to support games like fortnite.
locked bootloader and secureboot, etc.
locked bootloader and secureboot, etc.
KThe client side is an instantly lost battle
Dgames like fortnite is a lost battle imo
Agiven my research i dont think its possible for only server side to work
Ayou can go a long way sure but man
Dit can be done but Sweeny is a petty baby so he wouldnt do something that would be positive for valve
5Tim will only care about Linux when steam is big enough that he can sue them as a monopoly
Dvery annoying too, fall guys and rocket League works, but not fort?
VTheir website just seems suspicious to me. I don't really trust it :/
Dyeah I get it
Ddef templated
VI joined their discord, not even set up yet lol
A10M sounds good, and you know what?
VSeen antheas there too
AIm planning to use a js tls lib
Almao yes
Athat was developed by crypto bros
VI tell you what, I'll believe playtron when I can download it.
Aand hasnt gotten support in 2 years because they went bust
D60 days
Aup to they said
Ai was second in the chat
Aright behind mr MADAFAKA
Ai let him claim first spot
VPlaytron hasn’t quite decided just how open source it’ll be, though
Alarm bells
5I think ironically this might have had momentum had this same article not stated that valve is getting ready to ship steamOS on third party devices
Athey managed to get a half quote out of the valve guy
5That really should have been the title of the article
5The rest was less important
VHey Pierre is one of the people that speaks the most
VGot me excited seeing Pierre's name and Bazzite in the same paragraph though
VBit of a let down
