Rosenzweig, known for her Panfrost and Apple M1/M2 GPU driver work is now contracted by Valve to work on graphics driver development! Sounds like great news for Valve's push for Linux gaming.

What's the biggest problem for you when it comes to gaming on Linux?

It's easily anticheat for me; I'd still like to play genshin or paladins but their anticheat either makes it very difficult/risky (bans) or just impossible

Yup same. Aside from the few times a year my friends want to play some game with certain anticheats, I can't remember the last time I had a game straight up not work. It's been years.

Yeah the anticheat issue is very annoying. These games would run great on Linux if devs didn't implement kernel level anticheat or would enable EAC / BattleEye support for proton. From what I can tell (just reading the docs) it seems extremely easy for devs to enable it. Maybe 1-2 hours of work.
