Palworld is getting anticheat, but it shouldn't cause issues for Steam Deck/Linux because it will be mostly optional (www.gamingonlinux.com)

Palworld is adding external anticheat, but it will only be required for official servers. Community servers, single player, and coop will have it be optional.

We don't know yet if the anticheat will be compatible with Linux yet, but the options to not use it means that it shouldn't be too disruptive either way.

Basically, just official servers will require anticheat, so worst case you can run your own.

Not the point of the article, but this is nice and reasonable:

This emerging "Palworld has lost X% of its player base" discourse is lazy, but it's probably also a good time to step in and reassure those of you capable of reading past a headline that it is fine to take breaks from games. You don't need to feel bad about that. Palworld, like many games before it, isn't in a position to pump out massive amounts of new content on a weekly basis. New content will come, and it's going to be awesome, but these things take a little bit of time. There are so many amazing games out there to play; you don't need to feel guilty about hopping from game to game.

@conciselyverbose @steamdeck It would be nice if game devs didn’t require a game to become the primary way of life for millions in order to be a success. #latestagecapitalism

You can thank the completely obscene financialization of everything for that. Suits don't care about making things people enjoy, they care about making things that generate money. Skinner box microtransaction mechanisms etc. are just a result of that – many games aren't made to be fun, they're made to make you pay
