The LiNuX pLaYeRs ChEaT excuse. It's bullspit, and they know it. That's because they can't spy on Linux players very easily unless someone makes an OPSEC mistake.

No, it's more that cheaters go for the easiest option. If that's Linux, then they'll use Linux.

The issue isn't Linux users, but game devs/anticheat devs not putting in the effort to find a proper solution.

Hence, the LiNuX pLaYeRs ChEaT gaslight.

This is a misrepresentation of what he said, though. He’s claiming the cheaters (who happen to use Linux) outweigh the regular Linux users (0.01%), which is statistically plausible. Also please chill the edgelord “OPSEC” attitude, we get it..you are Mr.hackerman. (The term you probably meant was privacy or freedom I’m guessing)

Most cheating software is designed by Windows developers, from what I'm aware (I could be wrong), and thus, Windows is the more likely cheating demographic.
