From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Valorant uses the Vanguard anti-cheat, which is technically a rootkit. Riot had the freedom to do what they wanted to do with your PC if they wanted to.
Good thing you lost access to that nightmare.
I wanted to try it once and it did not run. Probably takes issue with software used to configure peripherals or smth. Even just the fact you have to reboot to install a game is ridiculous.
