why do so many anticheats not allow linux?
What I've heard is that they don't think that it's a big enough market to have to fix bugs that might happen only on linux and such, so they just don't allow us to play.
It'd be nice, but from what I see most devs against this suggest Linux gamers are a bunch of dirty hackers and it's somehow much easier to cheat there.
They just conveniently forget that Valve offered to fix any bugs themselves that are specific to Linux/Proton...
Some require kernel level access, which is a big security risk.
