Always online with kernel-level anti-cheat has a tendency to not work, but that is probably a red flag since there are thousands of different games you can play that don’t snoop around ring-0

If I can control my fans and my GPU in Linux the way I can in Windows I will.
Will need more info then I can recommend some software
