Also, the basic argument of this blogpost is idiotic. If you’re installing a ring 0 anticheat that means you’re running Windows, and guess what, that means your entire operating system is code you can’t audit. You’ll also be running possibly dozens of third party drivers with (essentially) ring 0 access that you also can’t audit, and most of those drivers are written far more shoddily than anticheats (which, by their very nature, have to pay extreme attention to security and safety, because otherwise cheaters will easily reverse engineer them making them useless).

Microkernels seem to be having a new wave of popularity recently (new microkernel based OSes being made, apple slowly turning XNU into a microkernel)
Windows uses a hybrid kernel, but that still means drivers have access to the entirety of kernel space
Microkernels are so much more secure (when done properly with IOMMU and everything)
However, kernel based anticheats won’t work with microkernels (since most microkernels aren’t modular)
