Dear Linux devs,
I am writing to you about a new feature request for the linux kernel. Since more people are switching to linux(because windows 11 is garbage) some games just don't work (because they require kernel level plugins for anticheat).

To encourage gamers to switch I was wondering if you guys can add a translation layer plugin in the kernel (like Wine IS Not an Emulator (WINE for short)). It can be built as a module and be installed via package manager like apt, pacman, dnf, etc.

I do hope to see something like this and hope that linux would be able to run Windows games on Linux.

So, anyone busy this holiday season? Shouldn't be too hard.

@monsieuricon The purpose of anti-cheat is to prove that you haven't tampered your system in certain ways, yet Linux is FOSS and allows you to do "basically anything". The game developer would need to be able to execute code on the user's computer in a way that prevents user's control of their own computer.

On the face of it I don't see how Linux is compatible with that, and I'm not really a fan of introducing & normalizing such a mechanism either.
