Enabling anticheat means the user must sacrifice many of their core freedoms just to play a video game. And in principle anticheat will never fully prevent cheating short of pointing a camera at the user and watch them the whole time they are playing.
I hope Linux community can push back. This whole thing is idiotic and harms the consumers.
No, all client side anti cheats are bad and won’t work. The user space ones are still privacy risks and most importantly is absolutely useless against someone who is determined to cheat.
What I don’t get is “easy anti cheat” seemed to work fine for elden ring (provided you created an empty file when SotE dropped and you didn’t have it). I have seen next to zero cheating in my experiences. Although I do realize souls type multiplayer is very different than competitive FPSs.
solving anti-cheat would basically seal the Dingus
The way I solve anti-cheat is by never playing games that require it.
i want to play dayz tho
DayZ runs fine on Linux though
Just play something else. There’s literally hundreds of thousands of games out there that require no anti-cheat.
no thanks I’m good
oh okay. yw. gg.
It’s solved, they just refuse to enable it

Lots of games support anti-cheat in Linux. It’s critical to note that anti-cheat in general is not the issue.
Kernel-level anti-cheat however is. It’s a massive security issue and something that everyone, including Windows users, should roundly reject.

cheating absolutely ruins a lot of my favorite fps games. many of them are unplayable unless you have some well moderated private server to play on
extremely so. yes good talk thank you
If the anti-cheat is client-side, that’s a solved problem, thanks to avoidance.
