Is Helldiver's anti cheat that bad too? am I at least a little better off running the game through Proton on Linux or am I just providing a compatibility layer to a rootkit?
Wait who TF is cheating in HD? It's pve?
You would be surprised who will cheat. Watch Karl Jobst and some of the cheaters he has made vids on
And is fully deserving. Silly Bitchell is a pathological liar himself. Also his slapp suit was keeping this entire saga alive.
Billy Schnitzel is the only one to blame
Some people might still want to be seen as the bestest Helldiver evar.
The latter
Doesn't the compatibility layer mean its restricted to its own wine prefix? Or am I misunderstanding?
In theory. However, wine was not designed as a security sandbox, and it might be possible (or even trivial) for something to intentionally break out of it. This gets more likely when considering the growing market share of linux.
There isn't much sandboxing in Wine, but at least on linux, the AC is forced to run in userspace (instead of having root privileges). So it's not quite as invasive, but it still has access to everything your non-root account has access to. Which is still a lot. Probably not much better from a privacy perspective, but at least a little better from a security perspective.
You could theoretically get around this issue by installing Steam via Flatpak so that everything is sandboxed though.
