You must not play most of the top 5 fps games then lol.
Literally everything a “normal” gamer plays is not supported on linux.
Comment on Microsoft kills official way to activate windows without internet

What games are those? In the last 12 months I tried 151 games on Linux. All of them worked, only 6 required tinkering.

Normal gamers don’t just play FPS lol
That’s obviously not true
Obviously how? Who is a “normal” gamer?
Yeahh they do. 90% of kids with a ps5 wanna play bf6 and pubg etc type games. And if a normie even thinks of gamer they think of fortnite bf and cod.
We’re talking about Windows vs Linux, not consoles. A normie will think of roblox, which blows all consoles as well as steam/EPIC/etc out of the water.
I recently found a neat list of games that don’t work due to Anti-Cheat:
So it’s probably one of the ~700 games.
Awesome find.
Looking at the first 4 pages, you’d have to pay me to play the “denied” games.
I’m not missing a damn thing. :D
Not the original commenter, but for me it’s Arc Raiders. I’m a fan of extraction shooters and have been messing with the idea of fully switching to Linux and ditching microslop completely, aaaaaaand then Arc Raiders was released
i’m a linux gamer and can personally confirm arc raiders works on my machine 👍
Arc Raiders
Arc Raiders has Platinum status on Linux, meaning it works extremely well under Linux.

The fact they mentioned “anti cheat”, it’s going to be your modern online multiplayer games. It’s going to be games like Fortnite, PUBG, Call of Duty, Battlefield, etc.

I would still like to know which and why. Usually there are alternatives out even for those multiplayer games. Example -> all the valve Games / Blizards Games are good too ;)

sadly most online mp games have kernel-level anti-cheat that doesn’t run on linux

i can't agree with this general statement. i guess it's important to understand that a lot of the multiplayer games you wanna currently play have some kind of protection which makes it currently not suitable to run on linux.
just to give a different view mp games which currently seem to work ( checked protondb ):
- Eldenring Nightreign
- Dark and Darker (used to work)
- Helldivers & Helldivers 2
- Arc Raiders
- Counter Strike
- Overwatch
- DOOM in very different versions
- Quake Live
- Hunt Showdown 1896
- Dead by Daylight
- Warframe
with all respect for the games you currently love so much, please don't make general statements.
A personal advice i want to give: Only change to linux if you are also willing to change yourself and adapt. Linux is not Windows like, Mac OS is not Windows , like a Playstation is not a XBOX or a Switch.

Sure, there are alternatives for the games I listed, but if all your friends are playing any of the games I listed, you don’t have many options for Linux outside of something like Shadow or GeForce Now, which admittedly is a pretty solid option for online-only games if you live near their servers.
