This article gave me more appreciation for the stance of the Linux community.

So to sum up. Valorant's anti-cheat, which the author sees something like an ideal solution:

- starts up and loads its kernel driver on boot.

- generates a persistent unique ID based on hardware serial numbers and associates this with my game account.

- stays active the entire time the system is up, whether I play the game or not. But don't worry, it only does some unspecified logging.

- is somehow not a spyware or data protection risk at all...
