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.

I'd like to add that even if you use full disk encryption and have to enter a password to unlock it they could just install a modified loader that captures your password. Though it's not necessary something I'd worry about from them.
All of that is unfortunately true about any anticheat and pretty much any software you use, really.
Obviously not if you run it unprivileged in a separate OS, but the vast majority of users don't even use more than a single (usually not password protected administrator) account.
