Hardcore gamers tend to play competitive multiplayer games which today predominantly rely on anti-cheat detection with an in-kernel component. When these fail to run (because Linux is not supported) or when they detect you are trying to run it from a Windows VM with some form of GPU passthrough, the player account gets banned.

Comment windows app updates (Score 1) 159

The every-app-has-its-own-auto-update agent and infrastructure on Windows is a disaster in the making. It's not like we had enough warnings about thid in the past. For a long time, Microsoft was gatekeeping their update infrastructure by limiting their Store to UWP apps - now that they have come back on that decision, is there any reason not to depend on the update logic and infrastructure provided by Microsoft? On Linux I believe the equivalent risk more or less is adding third party repositories where the signing key isn't properly secured and segregated from the repository infrastructure.

Comment the number one use case of NTLMv1 (Score 3, Informative) 34

RADIUS using MSCHAPv2 authentication is the number one use case of NTLMv1 in the IT infrastructure of organizations. While it's very doable (and strongly recommended) to switch to X.509-based auth for wireless auth, typically username/password auth remains in use to administrate switches, routers and other physical network devices. Microsoft even excludes MSCHAPv2 for RADIUS from the NTLMv1 depracation timeline and MS NPS has a registry setting to allow keep using NTLMv1 even when it has been 'disabled' on the domain controller.
