I’m opposed to kernel drivers/root kits too, but I wouldn’t install this on my daily driver. I’d have a separate partition with a fresh Linux install. So I don’t personally have a problem with it as I’d just treat it as a gaming system that I consider compromised. I wouldn’t do any banking or browsing on it
This seems like a real benefit to Linux. Just installing it on a new partition would be a tricky proposition on Windows. In Linux it is the obvious solution. As an added bonus, you could look into doing some of the latency tuning stuff and not have to worry about messing up your work partition.
