I have literally never played a game and encountered an obvious cheater and if I did, I think I'd just change servers. Is this really such a huge problem and if so, what are its consequences beyond maybe being annoyed for 5 minutes?
Some games, like Tarkov, are plagued with cheaters, but Linux plays no part in any of it.
First time I went into labs I encountered a cheater, that's when I learned to not play tarkov. Especially solo good lord
Single Player Tarkov (SPT) with the co-op mods and various other mods to spice up the game is a great way to play it tbh - stopped playing official servers years ago.
