Which ones, genuinely curious?
online multiplayer games with anti cheat
Not entirely true, Easy Anti Cheat which is commonly used, works under Linux and is auto installed by Steam.
CS2 FaceIT, Tarkov, CoD, Le Mans Ultimate
I'll start with Fortnite. Hate on it if you want but my kids and wife play it and I enjoy playing with them even if I don't much care for it myself.
Kernel level anti cheat is such crap.
Maybe switch to Linux so you can't play Fortnite
Pretty much every online competitive game cuz they all use invasive anti cheats and scapegoat linux as the cheater platform.
CS2 is the only outlier that I know of (VAC is server side mostly & CS2 is native anyways so). Probably some other games that are linux friendly too, but 99% are not.
I mean league of legends does work on linux, though maybe not as "plug and play" as other titles. But yeah I get your point, if you want ro play Rainbow six siege or equivalents ten you're probably out of luck, at least for now.
Yeah here's to hoping these game devs/publishers get their heads on straight when we all move to linux and stop playing their games because of lack of support.
That's the thought I use to cope anyways ;(
