    I mean just because steam doesn’t mind you tinkering with their own hardware doesn’t mean they should not try to secure the base system OS against outside intrusion (like a RAT entering in via an AUR installation using modules as an entry point)

      Yeah, sorry I meant more in the way that a user in a VM is a really different threat surface to a full root user.

      For sure both should apply security patches, and avoid malware, I’m just wondering even within that model what the differences are.
