Not my cup of tea since I don't play online games anymore, but hey, Linux is about choice and finally having the choice to play Fortnite on Linux is certainly welcomed, even though it will come with a rootkit.
Yeah, it's just BPF LSM, which is used by various security modules like CrowdStrike Falcon and KubeArmor. It lets the BPF program read kernel data structure metadata, read the the systems memory (including both kernel and user space memory), and allows the program to block certain operations, like reading a sensitive file (it does not have arbitrary write access). It has way less access to the system than the kernel modules that they have in Windows, which allows the program to effectively do anything it wants there.
