> Today, we extend support to Linux and Mac for developers who maintain full native builds of their games for these platforms. That sounds like Proton is definitely not supported here. So if an EAC developer only supports Windows, Linux users are SoL.
I could totally see Linux hitting 5+ percent market share for desktops on the next couple years
Desktop computers haven’t been relevant since 2008ish, and were struggling to maintain relevance after the 4th gen Intel GPU/Power-consumption changes.
Headless servers and consumer electronics are, already, largely using Linux.
I literally just posted a comment in an earlier thread that the only reason I dual boot Windows is for EAC support. This is awesome news. We can finally play Fallout Guys on linux!
What permissions does this require? A kernel module? Something that watches all processes all the time? Messes with input settings or breaks assistive devices? On windows, a lot of the actions that "anti-cheat" software takes is indistinguishable from a rootkit.
Arguably necessary when cheats people install themselves are actual rootkits.
Awesome! So what does this mean for me? Will I be able to launch Apex legends without getting booted right now? How long will i need to wait for my favorite games to start working?
Now I just need punkbuster.
If I can play Planetside2 on Linux I can just ignore games that don't work well on Linux.
I can't wait to delete windows, it does nothing for me professionally or personally outside of being a gamebox. I find between the spyware, bluescreens when trying to move a boot drive to a new box, explorer.exe is a miserable excuse of a desktop and... I could go on about the papercuts but... yeah.

Not 'arguably necessary'. Cheats can just as easily be detected from the server side through statistical analysis.

Money back guarantee SaaS cheats are like $10/month that are undetected by EAC.
