It does seem a bit overkill especially for home desktop use. I think with laptops an argument could be made that there may be some benefit even for home users.

But for gaming anti-cheat specifically, it’s definitely overkill.

Interesting article on how secure boot functions. Thanks!

NYT honestly never paywalls me (I don’t live in North America/EU), so I can’t figure out if the article is free or not.

I usually add an archived version if I know there is a paywall (going to do that).

It’s got its issues (for me the main one are the tankie scum devs), but it seems to be the best platform there is.

The good thing about it is you can move to clients like Piefed and still access all the content / communities.
