It's not DRM in general, most DRM works on Linux. It's mandatory malware (the industry calls it Kernel-level Anti-Cheat, KAC for short) that's the problem. The malware doesn't support Linux, which is good because it shouldn't even exist in the first place, and refuses to work in virtual machines. It pretty much is only used in competitive FPS games.

I've only really run into it on f2p MMOs, and then Black Desert Online. But also I don't really play competitive FPS games

BF6 has onerous requirements. That's not a strike against the Linux gaming ecosystem. It's a strike against MS and BF6. it's shocking that you'd put up with that.
