How will the anticheat work? Most games work decently well on proton, but the anticheat is what really breaks these games on linux.
Anticheats work fine on linux, the devs generally just have to check a box enabling linux support in the anticheat.
Beancounters don't like that, because linux doesn't let some random program have deeper access to your computer than you yourself have.
I didn't realize it was literally a switch, I thought it had something to do with the architecture of the OS and anticheat programs weren't compatible.
It does. The switch in some anticheats is to just not require that on linux. Also not all anticheats are kernel-level in the first place.
