I have a Windows 11 PC strictly for gaming. Nearly every-time I interact with Windows it infuriates me with garbage code, Microsoft business BS and anti-privacy. I’d love to switch but has Linux gaming solved the anti-cheat requirement issue? Do Epic and EA games work on Linux?

I also play a decent amount of Flight Simulator 2024 and losing that is almost a non-starter for switching.

anticheat is not a linux issue, its a developers issue. it seems facially easy to solve. pair players with the type of game they want.

  turn on anticheat if you want to join no cheat sessions.

 if you want a cheat game turn off anticheat and you join sessions with other cheat players.

 the whole dilemma comes out of malignant users that enjoy destruction of other users ability to enjoy the game.
  go nuclear on clients that manage to join anticheat sessions with cheats turned on.
