The more people hop onto Linux the faster and better funded support for Linux development becomes. If you're a single player gamer or play Valve multiplayer games primarily, make the jump to Linux. Get on Mint, get on Fedora, Ubuntu, etc and get off Microsoft's shitboat. You already took off from Reddit. Wean off all these other money/data leeches
I'm on Mint and have been for 2-3 years now and I've never had any problems with non-valve multiplayer. I don't use any VMs and just run everything through proton and have never struggled.
Battlebit, Helldivers, Lethal Company (+mods), Risk of Rain 2, Rocket League, Minecraft, and Split Fiction to name a few. I guarantee there are others I've played, but I can't remember.
Can Linux run Valorant?
No Kernel level anti cheat will ever work on linux. But probably Windows will disable the possibillity to manipulate on kernel level either in the future.
Sort of, right?
We know Windows will continue cracking down on kernel module adds, since the Crowd strike disaster.
But I figure most anti-cheat will just shift to non-kernel and keep working.
Of course, at that point most anti-cheat of will then work under Proton, on Linux, too.
Which was maybe your point.
Okay, I don't think I added anything for you, but I'll leave this in case it helps someone reading along with us.
Watching you reason this out was fun
No.
Thanks for this link, neat to see that Uncharted Waters Online apparently runs on Linux despite it's ridiculously strict anti-cheat. (To this day it's the only game I've played that had an issue with Process Explorer running in the background 🤦♂️)
