don’t some linux window manager also makes the windows key have a similar function?

depends on what games, in fast pace games you would have keys binded all over easily reachable by your left hand, shift/tab/ctrl/alt could all be used, that’s why many gaming keyboards also come with a switch to disable the windows key as well.

the article posted yesterday mentioned a lot of these requests are only made once per IP address, the botnet is absolutely huge.
