Kernel Level Anti-Cheat.
If you don’t understand that, then you don’t know if Linux is good or bad for “gaming”.
Basically everything you want to play on Linux, that is not supported by the anti-cheat kernel is screwed.
“Steam offers all these game to play on Linux” - yes, but I played them all 20 years ago.
Try playing something like Genshin Impact. You cannot, the anticheat is Windows only. (PS and consoles, it relies on anticheat mech’s from the HW). They don’t offer a Linux version - so you are screwed.
Does it have EAC or Battleeye? You are shit out of luck.
The Linux Desktop is ready for primetime, but not for gaming. You need a windows boot for gaming, unless you are playing Half-Life…
Wait, you’re saying you like Windows specifically so that you can give miscellaneous companies the highest level of privileged access to your computer, a power which they say they want to use to check that you aren’t cheating. That’s the reason you want to use Windows?
I support and do everything in Linux, and I can. But I cannot play games I want to play.
I have to use windows to play what I want to play, because companies that make games do not support Linux.
How fucking retarded are you?
Never mind, you are probably just another aimbot using n00b in some old game that still runs on Linux, that no one cares about anymore.

Holy smokes man. Did you learn your social skills from those same multiplayer games you are talking about?
You’re right about kernel-level anticheat like Vanguard not working, but there is EAC support for Linux; see Apex Legends.
Genshin does work in linux since a few months ago from what i heard
