But that won’t happen. It’s against their very nature/purpose. Also kernel level anything is iffy. There is a reason modern OS are trying to push things into user space, like file system. Prevents an error from crashing the whole system.
My recommendation now that computing devices are reasonably cheap is to not do anything requiring a high level of trust on a daily-use device that runs a wide variety of software, such as a gaming PC with lots of games. Instead I’d do those things on a device that only runs what you trust and nothing else.
Anti-cheat isn’t compatible by nature with Open-source. Client side anti-cheat is based on the premise of security through obscurity, it’s not a canidate for open source and the ideologies behind most of them aren’t really compatible with freedom either.
Also DRM isn’t really compatible with that idea either because it is by nature anti-freedom.
I would take any DRM and AntiCheat protection if they were open-source.

Yep, each game in their own wineprefix.

Use server-side anticheat
That would - unfortunately - not work out. Cheaters now have to guess measurements taken…with oss they would gain direct insights
It would be open source but not free as in freedom.
Say no to DRM!
