Devs Announce Faceit Anticheat for BattleBit will be compatible with Linux, Steam Deck
(i.postimg.cc)
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.

Valve still uses Ubuntu as it's base for it's Linux game runtimes. Dev's are encouraged to use it for developing Linux games, since it guarantees specific dependencies being available. This runtime is a container which comes with Steam and works on any distro.
Valve basically solved Linux problem with too many distros with different deps.
