The sheer power of instantly switching desktops in Linux makes the windows user afraid.
But I have seen a lot of old windows heads look at Linux for gaming performance where Microsoft is failing them with bloatware such as copilot.
I don't think the rootkit anti cheats would ever work to a level windows games developers want it to on Linux though.
Anticheat will have to just come from other methods that people will also hate.
Imagine, for example, if they required a form of government issued ID and the account was tied to you specifically. Despite privacy nightmare that it is (plus other issues, especially around globally accessed games), bans would have significantly larger impact if they're tied to a real-world identity.
Yeah, AC overall is very anti OSS philosophies
It doesn't matter to me if games that use rootkit anticheat don't work on Linux. I would never install anything that requires a rootkit.
