I just got a Steam deck for that. It's really worth it imo. Linux for my PC, steam deck for games.

How does steam deck handle kernel level anticheat any differently than arch?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

That's the neat part; it doesn't.

Jokes aside, few games (which I don't remember) check if the gaming device is a Steam Deck, and accordingly allow the games to run by turning on user-space anticheat.

I have a steam deck but dunno why I would use it at home just to not use windows. A steam deck IS linux and doesn't support kernal anti cheats and its a lot less powerful than my pc.

I do use it on the road, vacations, etc tho and its a great machine!
