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 simply do not believe that it costs that much to cheat with kernel level anticheat.
kernel level anticheat is pointless malware in my book, let it burn
It requires either a Direct Memory Access card and supporting software or a video capture card and enough processing power to run fast image classification for AI aim bots.
Anything running directly on the PC can be detected by the kernel anti-cheat.
You can look online for the hardware and prices
What about a VM?
Anti-cheat just detects that it's running on virtual hardware (VMs don't try to lie to the kernel) and will refuse to allow you to connect.
You won't get banned but it'll either stop you when you try to launch the client or it'll kick you when you try to connect to a game instance.
That would let you hide things from the kernel anti-cheat but the AC can detect that it is running in a VM and just won't let you play.
