Hello everyone,

I have been trying to avoid having to deal with kernel level anti-cheats (or ring-0 if I am not mistaken) but there are a few games that require it and before proceeding I am a bit curious about it.

I am not that experienced with security at all, but from my current point of view, having access to ring-0, there could be future bugs or exploits which can be taken advantage of resulting to an unnecessary risks.

My current setup consists of a dual-boot system with Arch and Win11, both installed on different SSDs. Windows are being used purely for gaming and nothing else. Obviously, with secure boot disabled, kernel level anticheats can not be installed.

In the scenario that I switch to a different distro that can have secure boot enabled, and a kernel level anti-cheat is installed on Windows, could the Linux system be in any way affected by it?

Thank you in advance!

Edit: TL;DR: Dual boot, Linux and Win on different SSDs, could any possible bug or exploit from kernel level access on windows affect the linux system?

Hello everyone,

I am having a debate with my friend on which game is more difficult when it comes to mechanics, not necessarily for character mechanics but also boss/raids.

I have never played Lost Ark, but I felt that in GW2 raids you needed to know your character and boss mechanics to a great extent, and often have some KP (Kill Proof) to join other parties.

For those that played both, what would you say? I am looking forward to your opinions

Edit: Thank you everyone for the quick replies! I did not expect that at all so I definitely had the wrong impression of Lost Ark.
