  1. Imagine not supporting Linux gaming in 2026. Every game no matter how new and advanced gets Steam Deck Verified status these days and yet League of Legends or Fortnite or EA Sports FC or Call of Duty have this arbitrary thing blocking out an increasingly significant percentage of players. It's getting more ridiculous with each month.

  2. However, with hardware based DMA cheats on the rise, Linux "advantage" in the eyes of cheaters could soon be diminished.

  3. All these issues could be solved, but it would require substantial development efforts from the EAC team to bring their Linux support up to par with the Windows version. Even if they did that, it would lead to a much more invasive anti cheat software which would most likely not be received well with Linux users.

    For now, it seems that simply blocking Linux is the cheaper solution.

  4. Further, Easy Anti Cheat was of no concern to Linux cheaters. Since EAC doesn't run as root, it's easy to hide a cheat process using existing features of the Linux kernel. On top of that, hardware IDs are trivial to spoof on Linux using udev rules. Spoofing is also possible on Windows, but is much more difficult and breaks certain OS features.

  5. So, I went to a forum for cheats, and it's not looking good for Linux gaming. Apex Legends really did have a Linux cheater problem.

    The vast majority of cheats offered were for Linux. In fact, I had trouble finding a Windows cheat. On top of that, the cheats for Apex Legends were more featureful than those for similar games only available on Windows.

  6. Muy buen artículo de la revista online de #Fedora hablando sobre las opciones disponibles para jugar en distribuciones #GNU #Linux y con una conclusión muy realista y objetiva.

    Abarca prácticamente todas las apps, quedaría alguna que comentar (
    #lutris por ejemplo) pero en lo que más ahonda es el problema de los #anticheat que frena este paso desde #Windows a cualquier distro. En mi caso, por ejemplo #Destiny2 es un problema y en la conclusión se deja ver que según a qué "juegos" es posible o no.

    Recuerda alternativas como
    #geforcenow que es una buena alternativa, la he probado y es así, pero supone un coste adicional al mes que no sé si merecerá la pena.
