Proton's good-ish. But if you want to play a lot of AAA games it's a non-starter especially if they have invasive kernel anti-cheat.

Thankfully I don't want and will never want any games that infect my systems with "anti-cheat" malware so I see the lack of support for it as a feature.

To quote myself because it's getting tiresome

I wish people would stop bringing this up which has not been true for years. Around 40-50% of kernel level anti cheats work and are supported (in user space).

Not to mention that AAA or any games with anti cheat are in the minority of all games.

I tend to play indie games, but I've never had anti-cheat problems. Everything happily runs on 6.17-rc5 right now.

AAA games are overproduced crap that compensate with aggressive marketing.

Microsoft needs to provide their own anti-cheat hooks and block any kernel-level mods entirely.

Why would you willingly install games with invasive kernel anti-cheat? That's unacceptable both on Linux or Windows.

playing any game with an invasive kernel anti-cheat is a non-starter on its own.

no game is worth that.
