The Biggest Problem With Linux Gaming...
Source: YouTube · SomeOrdinaryGamers · published Mar 12, 2025 · 18:08
Linux gaming faces a major hurdle due to anti-cheat software preventing popular multiplayer games from running on the platform 0:00-0:16.
Key Takeaways:
• Popular games like Rainbow Six Siege, PUBG, GTA, and Apex Legends don't work on Linux due to their anti-cheat systems 1:40-3:06
• Linux is too open and customizable to support invasive kernel-level anti-cheat solutions that work on Windows 13:02-13:18
• Cheaters use sophisticated methods like DMA cards and AI-based aimbots that even the most advanced anti-cheat systems struggle to detect 5:12-8:32
• Battle Eye does support Linux through Proton, but developers must enable it, and many haven't due to security concerns 11:00-11:22
• Cheaters have exploited Linux's weaker anti-cheat by spoofing their systems, making developers reluctant to support the platform 12:10-12:27
A potential solution could be a standardized, verifiable Linux kernel through Steam OS, but this requires industry-wide cooperation 15:06-15:40.
