Linux is all good if you only play singleplayer games. My friends started playing the finals yesterday and it doesn't run on linux because of EAC. Windows can run all my games without any proton switching and all the nvidia features like ray reconstruction and pathtracing with frame generation just works (alan wake 2 looks so good).

Nah, it doesn't work because the developer doesn't want it to. EAC works really well on Linux, the developer just has to enable it, which takes literally less than 10 seconds.

All the developer needs to do is push a button to make EAC work. They're probably busy hotfixing the 1.0 but I'm sure it'll work soon, they are excluding all steam deck users by not pressing it

If it's that easy, why isn't there a mod or fix for people on Linux to do it themselves?

It's configured from EAC, not in code.

Precision guesswork here, but probably because it's serverside.

I guess I didn't even think about the possibility that the servers are also running on Windows. Who does that? Ew.

No... They meant that the way EAC works is configured from the game's developper end. Just like how you can't mod your equipment in MMOs because your data is being stored on the game's server

It would be server-side.

Hack the server to add anti-hack. /s

Bypassing anticheat systems is possible, "hackers" do it all the time, but would result in a ban if caught.
