And are anti-cheats the reason why we can't use Linux, even if the game itself runs well?

There are many lingering misconceptions about Linux gaming, like how it supposedly provides less choice than Windows, doesn’t offer game stores other than Steam, doesn’t play as many games, runs those games poorly by comparison. With some exceptions — mostly games with advanced anti-cheat solutions — they’re not true.

These few are often also the most popular games, no? Would have been great if the article showed a path of getting anti-cheats for Linux.
