    How about Valorant? Its basically the only game (+ rainbow six siege / PUBG potentially, idk if these work) blocking me from switching. I know all my other games will work without issue cause they run on my steam deck as well.

      EA’s fancy new kernel level anti-cheat is plaguing battlefield games. Also Rockstar broke GTA:O with their Anti-cheat (even though the Anti-cheat they use supports Linux)

        The issue is that the Linux playerbase is so small, but its a self fulfilling prophecy. Players don’t play on Linux cause of the issues and the issues are there cause there are not enough players on Linux.

          This simply isn’t true. Fragpunk, a brand new title, works without a single modification on Linux. It takes a negligible amount of effort for the developers, often just a single toggle in the anticheat config.

              Which, again, basically all Anti-Cheat works on Linux

              The example given, GTA, uses BattlEye, which according to someone who knows more about using it than me is literally a checkbox for Linux support

              Anti-Cheat not working on Linux is the developers/publishers being assholes almost exclusively

                Yes it is and I fully agree with you, but it is *still *the reason I’m not switching

                    Its good I don’t associate you with the linux community, because if I did my will to switch over would be severely lower because of your stupid behavior with this comment.

                    This is just plain and simple my reason for not switching, you not being able to accept it is not my issue.
