Yikes. I did not know that. I’m a Linux user but when it comes to talking about kernel stuff I’m like “what?”

Tldr kernel access is bad.
You have a great personal reference point for this; you use Linux, and when have you ever needed kernel access regularly?
What conceivable reason could a game dev have for wanting access to that?
How could having that access be detrimental to your machines security?
