"I would like to switch to Linux, but it's just not good for gaming"

(The "Windows" slices of the pies are entirely made up by Baldur's Gate 3, which also runs well over Linux)
dunno, if we're talking about easy anti-cheat, i've played insurgency: sandstorm, war thunder and hunt: showdown. Not a lot of games, but none of them had any issues
Halo MCC was fixed too and now that works without issues online. It is good fun.
Plenty of games do check it! Which is why it’s excessively frustrating when other games consciously choose not to. There were a few hiccups initially but now as far as I’m aware it’s literally just the checkbox.
I really hate this "it's just a checkbox* narrative. It's bullshit. EAC functions very differently on Linux and it is ridiculous to assume that "it says EAC is on" = "game is secure"

But go off king
But go off king
Yeah, that’s not the whole story
Enabling Linux support does inherently allow more attack vectors that need to be secured that don’t need to be if it’s windows only. Linux works against these kinds of anticheats, as they’re working to get the most information out of the system as possible to prevent 3rd party programs from being run. This is a major design consideration in Linux not present in windows, so there is considerable extra work that has to be done, on top of already being much less effective on Linux than they are on windows.
