    If you wanted to support all possible drivers, you would basically need to rewrite the entire kernel. You could make one specific anticheat work by supporting its specific calls, but this will take a lot of work, and will probably be broken with the first ever update.

    In the past there were projects that supported specific types of drivers, such as ndiswrapper, but that had a very limited scope.
