Got this from a post on the alien site. From previous discussion on Lemmy it sounded like Linux users had good things to say about this game but were discouraged about the upcoming FaceIt implementation such that they wouldn't be able to join anticheat enabled matches. Those users and Linux gamers on the fence would probably appreciate hearing this news.
With this announcement on the dev team's community Discord, it appears Linux users will NOT lose access to matches with anticheat.

[EN|CN] PoM (Moderator shield) Today at 16:23 Just announced on [Stage Channel] there will be a new version of FaceIT that supports Linux!!! (Popular version of Linux and SteamDeck will be supported) And different than the CSGO version. BBR will be the first game to be using that version (A more casual version)
Does it require a rootkit or process running as root on Linux, because if it does in not fucking installing it.
For me this even smells like "kernel module that has to be loaded". I highly doubt this is even worth trying. There are already only a few Linux gamers. How many of them will switch distribution just for a game?
Probably not cause it has to run over wine. But well devs are crazy nowadays
