From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Also, (and this is from security research articles here) most kernel level anticheats seem to focus more on datamining than anticheat (see: anything from tencent)
Its so bad that a lot of corporate environments ban any work being done on machines that also have them installed (source: my employer)
Over time more and more anricheat companies have realised that personal data is gold and they are harvesting more and more of it.
Just read the eula some time. Most of it state in plain english that they send files from your documents, take screenshots and log keys.
And we give them kernel access…
if any anti cheat datamines my data i am prob not playing that game
