If I played any Rockstar games, I'd be unhappy with their new anti-cheat too, since it needlessly blocks linux, but this isn't the way this should be protested. If anything, this probably validates their decision.
The way this should be protested is to just stop playing. Stop giving them money. Stop boosting their month active user numbers that they can flaunt to investors. Hit them financially, since it's the only hit they really care about. There's a sea of other high-quality games you can play instead.
I did this with Blizzard/Activision years ago.
Zero impact.
Keep it up. There's dozen(s) of us?
Dozen(s?) Denial Of Service attack
Denial of Playing attack.
