Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows — as Windows 10 dies, gaming on Linux is more viable than ever

In my personal experience, the only games that don't work are those that explicitly choose not to :

  • Fortnite
  • PUBG
  • Roblox
  • Valorant

I'm not much into competitive games myself, so the only one that's inconvenient in this list to me is Roblox. There are a few really fun games on their platform that I wish I could play on Steam Deck, as used to be possible.

developer of game 'Rust' talks about anticheat on linux

This is actually one of the absolute worst trade-offs they could have made, if you think about it for like 2 minutes :

They said 0.1% of players were on Linux.

Even if they were ALL cheaters, that's still a tiny amount of cheaters you just "banned"

Almost 100% of whom will just cheat on Windows instead ; whereas all the legitimate Linux players will loudly complain forever.

They decided to sacrifice all the free PR from one of the most vocal groups of players out there, in order to get a ~ 0% reduction in the number of cheaters.

In more simple terms, they just shot themselves in the foot for no benefit whatsoever (though I do grant it's a relatively small "gun")
