It depends on the anti cheat. Many anti cheats for Windows require kernel level access. That doesn’t fly on Linux. But again, it depends on which one, some work just fine on Linux.
Also, the same anti-cheat can work with one game, and not the other, because it’s up to the publisher/developer to enable Linux support for anti-cheat that can work with Linux. For example, one of the most well known solutions, EAC, has a bunch of games that don’t work, and actually a bunch that do as well.
But IIRC the ones that allow Linux is basically crippling the anti cheat on the system. Apex Legends used to allow Linux but then stopped when too many cheaters started playing on Linux because it was easier to cheat there.
Eh, you could make your own kernel module and require it being enabled for Linux as well. It would be a major undertaking though, and since the linux share is very small still it just isn’t worth it.
