tl;dr: Security concerns for my Linux partition, when running Vanguard on Windows?

Now that Vanguard is out, I can’t play LoL on Linux anymore. I’m running a dual boot setup with windows and I’m using it only for stuff I can’t get to work on Linux, so there is no personal data on there.

  • Are there any security risks for my Linux partition, if Vanguard is installed and running on my Linux partition?
  • Could Vanguard potentially access my ext4 Linux file system via Windows?
  • If my NAS is mounted on Windows, could that also be a security concern?

I’m grateful for any kind of feedback, since I’m not very informed in terms of rootkits and kernels!

    The risk isn’t installing vanguard, the risk is that you might install league of legends or valorant along side it. Truly horrifying.

      No worries, I recently broke up with my GF (aka duo partner), so my league addiction is cured!
