Tell me how to beat anticheat on Linux? Cuz that's the only thing keeping me.
To see if the games with anticheat that you want to play are supported on linux, check areweanticheatyet.com they have a pretty huge list of anticheat status where are listed supported, unsupported and denied games.
If your games are on Steam, check ProtonDB.
If not, you're probably out of luck, but check recent Search Engine results. Best to limit results to around last 6 months, otherwise you'll probably get outdated information. Only a few bigger non-steam multiplayer shooters work, I can only think of Overwatch right now.
Give me a little LPT - how do you search for results within a date range?
Which games do you play? The only game holding me back was tarkov but I randomly decided to put Linux on one of my drives to see what I could/couldnโt do and I was able to get it working with proton. Probably going to switch over completely soon after I play around with it a bit more
Path of Exile, MapleStory, League of Legends, WoW private servers song other things.
League of Legends does work under linux without any anticheat issue, there is even a script done for lutris and an aur package to setup the game, on lemmy there is leagueoflinux where to ask for help.
Path of Exile works great on Linux.
This is the way
For work, I have no option other than Windows. Right now, I use a mix of WSL2, winget, scoop to get around which is nice. I get to ignore most of the rough edges of Windows lol
Yeah thats fair enough. Exceptions can be made for work lol.
Imagine having to spend 30 minutes just to run a specific software from Windows
