I'm not seeing anything in there about the boot identifier? I was previously led to believe that the boot identifier is not stable.
@zfigura they don't know about its existence because it's still not in wine. But think anti-cheats in Windows read it through GetFirmwareEnvironmentVariableExW. Not many games with anti-cheat work on Linux. In those games that work on Linux, there is an epidemic of cheaters, and cheaters have started to use Linux more often. For example Apex Legends game. A unique ID will not save from cheaters and it can be bypassed, but while no one knows about it, it can help identify some cheaters.
