  • To clarify there are several very popular online games with anti-cheat that will never work BUT there are also a ton of other multiplayer games that do work great. You aren’t going to be stuck in single-player only moving to Linux, you’ll just miss out on a handful of popular competitive games.

    I only got infected once that I know of. I had trouble reading from a floppy disk and so I set scandisk running on it and went to get some lunch. When I came back there had been a short power out and when it came back on my machine had rebooted with the disk in it which ran on startup and infected the machine. Thankfully it was non-destructive and I was able to clean it out with tools I had on another machine.








  • Hohndel agreed but added that the industry needs to support these smaller projects – and not only with money. “Companies need to engage with these projects. Have your company adopt a couple of such projects and just participate. Read the code, review the patches, and provide moral support to the maintainers. It’s as simple as that.”

    Really glad he said this, I keep seeing posts about how all these big companies could solve the problem by just throwing money at small projects and while that is better than nothing it would help way more to have their own developers helping to review and fix issues.
