Linux is all good if you only play singleplayer games. My friends started playing the finals yesterday and it doesn't run on linux because of EAC. Windows can run all my games without any proton switching and all the nvidia features like ray reconstruction and pathtracing with frame generation just works (alan wake 2 looks so good).

It's why I keep a Windows disk in my PC. There are a couple of fun games and some programs I need that just refuse to support Linux

Funny thing is that the game would probably work close to perfect if the devs just switched on the linux support in EAC. Sadly, it's just isn't worth for the devs. Linux user pool is too small and those who would play would generate new bug reports due to unconventional setup running through a compatibility layer.

Nah, it doesn't work because the developer doesn't want it to. EAC works really well on Linux, the developer just has to enable it, which takes literally less than 10 seconds.

All the developer needs to do is push a button to make EAC work. They're probably busy hotfixing the 1.0 but I'm sure it'll work soon, they are excluding all steam deck users by not pressing it

If it's that easy, why isn't there a mod or fix for people on Linux to do it themselves?

Bypassing anticheat systems is possible, "hackers" do it all the time, but would result in a ban if caught.
