What do the performance metrics look like for the games that won't run on Linux?

you mean the rootkits that won't run on Linux?

When did 'rootkit' come to be a generic term for invasive software? Rootkits are a specific type of thing.

Vanguard, BattlEye, EasyAntiCheat, Ricochet, etc... all run in the Windows Kernel and most, if not all, have the functionality to run arbitrary code, so might as well class them as rootkits.
