Crazy how far Linux gaming has come in the past 5 years. From practically non-existent, to now often running games better than the actual OS and graphics API they were designed to run on.

The only major roadblock is some anticheat software requiring highly invasive Windows rootkits to function, which Linux doesn't really work with.

(btw has anybody noticed how people on Reddit/Lemmy are pissed off about Philips, with the financial backing of Sony, doing this on CDs in the late 90s, yet they'll happily install half a dozen other rootkits and data harvesting programs when they install a video game? What's up with that?)

I consider that more of a feature then a bug

100% Cheating is a social problem. Not a technical one

But good would we go about getting rid of those invasive species? They can just use a VPN making any societal pressure we put out pointless.

I think alot of people just want to muck around, let them host the game themselves and play against AI or friends. I've heard of some games unknowingly putting cheaters in special rooms as well. This would hopefully get rid of the majority of cheaters. For the remainder we need to look into how we can disincentivise cheating (making gameplay interesting) as well has some moderation on the server side.

also Proton-GE with AMD FSR is basically just like downloading more FPS no matter which game you're playing
