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.

Thinking about installing Riot's rootkit

If I have an encrypted Linux partition and a Windows partition that I use as a bootloader into Riot's games, what are the drawbacks of installing their kernel level anticheat?

Given that they got hacked multiple times, and every update breaks their client, I don't think it makes sense to trust they can secure their malware.
