I'm sure you know this already, but for anyone who doesn't: If you want to know if a specific game will work under Linux, Proton DB is your friend!

Thanks for posting this, I didn't realise how many of my most played games have issues, or are unplayable, according to Proton DB. I forgot that it was effectively impossible to play a huge number of multiplayer games with anticheat/whatever stuff.

Again though, appreciate it!

That's really unfortunate, but yeah, better to know beforehand.

The really painful part about this is it doesn't need to be this way. A lot of popular anti cheat software supports Linux, but the game devs just don't enable it. GTA is one example of these. It's allegedly just a checkbox that Rockstar won't check.

Out of curiosity, what games are you looking at?

R6 Siege, Apex Legends, PUBG, Insurgency Sandstorm (which seems to be an off/on thing from the descriptions.)
