    Most anticheat actually works fine on Linux like 99%+ of games with anticheat. It’s just a handful of titles which I don’t even like anyways, except maybe GTA online that don’t work. It’s also not a limitation of Linux but an intentional choice made by those developers to disable it on Linux. Their stated reason is because it’s easier to edit memory and stuff on Linux, so they rather just ban Linux all together instead of banning cheaters or region locking games where cheating is common, like in China. I think the real reason rockstar does it is because they have big investments in Microsoft or something. Either way I have no desire to support windows, there are plenty of games that I play, nearly all of them in fact, that work just fine on Linux. There is like maybe 2 that won’t.

      This isn’t true and dismissing the anti-cheat issues because you don’t play these games is quite ignorant when they are some of the most played in the world. Just off the top of my head, all Battlefield games, PUBG, Apex Legends, Valorant, Rainbow Six Siege, Escape from Tarkov, League of Legends, Fortnite, Destiny 2…

        What? Nothing I said was untrue not a single thing. You are just making up stuff which is honestly pathetic. How about tell the truth you psycho? Also all those games suck, and pubg worked the last time I played it so I don’t even believe your list. You are probably lying about that too.

        Most of those games actually used to work just fine until they intentionally made them not work on Linux.

        That’s why saying the anticheat doesn’t work on Linux is misleading and wrong. It works on Linux just fine, they just choose to make it not support Linux with a configuration option.
