    Please install my innocent game launcher, yes of course it needs to be root to install games and prevent cheating. I’ll give you a free game if you install it !

      I treat my PC like a console at this point. Don’t use it for anything but gaming because of all the insane stuff games are doing with essentially making you install spyware. Figure I’d give them as little data as I can. I even have it on a separate network that can only communicate with the internet, not the rest of my LAN.

        You could probably just use linux with VM in that case. Haven’t tried it myself but that’s should isolate everything you don’t want on your personal system.

          It probably wouldn’t work out for the spyware that doesn’t want you running a VM for “anti-cheating” purposes.
