I wanna start a movement that is against kernel anti-cheats. Not only is it invasive by nature, it's a huge security risk (Genshin Impact's AC RCE), could cause system instability if programmed badly (Vanguard in LoL), sometimes don't even work right (Apex Legends tournament hack) and some don't uninstall when you uninstall the game! (Delta Force, Fortnite, etc) It can prevent #Linux users from playing too!
I've had enough! #DownWithKernelAC
Farlight 84 is now broken on Linux, SteamOS / Steam Deck https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2025/08/farlight-84-is-now-broken-on-linux-steamos-steam-deck/
#EA has confirmed that #Battlefield 6 will be completely unplayable on #Linux systems, including #SteamDeck, due to its new kernel-level anti-cheat system, “EA Javelin,” which explicitly blocks Linux. This move is a slap in the face to the growing #Linuxgaming community, especially considering how far compatibility has come with #Proton and #SteamOS.
Worse yet, EA is using open-source tech like the #GodotEngine in parts of the game, while denying access to the very platforms that champion #opensource. It’s hypocritical and #anticonsumer.
There’s no option to disable #anticheat for #singleplayer or #privateservers, meaning users who value #privacy or #freedom of platform are locked out entirely.
It's a hostile decision rooted in control, not security.

In conclusion, this is not even close to be the real fight against cheaters and hackers.
