I've been gaming on Linux exclusively since 2016.

DXVK was an amazing improvement. Steam play makes everything so much easier. And the Steamdeck was a revelation.

I don't like to play games with other people anyways so Anti-Cheat is no issue for me.

Anticheat is just a sign that the devs are insecure about their game.

Anti-cheat is just a sign that this game is designed to be ruined for you by other players.

That's one of the weirder ways I've seen to say "I don't enjoy competitive games and everyone who does is stupid."

If that's how you prefer to think of it I'll let you have it.

I am legitimately not interested in playing PvP games against strangers on the internet because inevitably someone somewhere will have taken the game way too fucking seriously and is basically just griefing people. They use aim bots when they can get away with it. A game that comes with anti-cheat is basically an admission that this game has that glaring flaw and that someone somewhere is getting off on ruining pubs or casual for everyone else.
