They practically control personal communications in majority of the world and none of the governments seem to care.

I still can't comprehend why any script on any webpage is allowed to communicate with the localhost on a mobile device.

I am not an expert on secure boot so I can't tell whether that's possible or not. But if it is, what stops people from doing that with Windows now?

My point is you would either have to run those modules on Linux or not play the games. Which is the same as running them on Windows or not play the games with the exception that you'd lose the games that run on Linux with userland anticheat now.

They don't. One article lied, people never read anything but the title and here we are this getting mentioned every once in a while.

And then your keys will be rejected by the anticheat. Just because you can sign your kernel and load it does not mean a kernel module can't verify who signed it.

Kernel level anti cheats require secure boot. You can't just "lie" and load an unsigned kernel.

Just want to point out you don't need beefy hardware if you'll use jellyfin only in your network or if you won't stream very heavy media over the internet. If your library is mostly 1080p, you'll be able to stream that without transcoding for the most part.

Sure hope not. If I wanted to run rookits I'd just use Windows. Why bother with Linux?

This is why I don't want more Linux adoption and don't understand people cheering every new user. We're in a sweet spot where a lot of games enable userland anticheat while we don't get kernel level ports (however they may be shipped doesn't matter). The only thing that'll come out of more adoption is kernel level anticheat ports that'll probably work with a few corporate backed distros only and we'll actually lose the games we have today. Because those will switch over the kernel level alternatives too.

The only way I'd like Linux to be a generic multiplayer platform is server side anticheats. It is very obviously the way to go and we are seeing extremely slow adoption (e.g. Marvel Rivals).

Linkding is a bookmark aggregator that can save pages for offline viewing including a simplified reader view.

200 players? This is as news worthy as a student's school project not having a Linux build ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If you're overriding the default permissions.. Flatpaks attempt to sandbox applications not built to work in a sandbox so the packages usually come with lots of holes prepunched that you probably can close without issues.
