    I don’t know that software at all, but regarding Linux, we can have anything at any level once you give the admin access, a.k.a. “root” (e.g. binary files that are “attached” to the kernel for a purpose, like making a piece of hardware work.) so… Yes, probably it’s on a similarly low level.

      To expand a little bit to your comparison, keep in mind that giving such root access and actually putting it to X or Y use are two different scenarios. That’s probably why LoL anti-cheat doesn’t work on Linux even if you were to run it as root. But, again, I’m quite ignorant on that technology too. Needles to say, there are games with anti-cheat technology that work on Linux (e.g. Steam VAC)

        Yes I know there other games with anti cheat that are working. So it is seems that in theory League can run but doesn’t because a game should not have such low access.
