I’m getting back into PC gaming after being consult exclusive for a while. I’m assuming anything with kernel anti-cheat is still not trying to work which is a problem because it means I either have to buy a windows licence or mess around with a cracked one which has its own security concerns.
I think my plan is to dual boot and use Windows as little as often.
There’s this handy list of online games with anti-cheat that are compatible with Linux. The majority isn’t supported, but some major titles are, surprisingly.
I love it! Not only do I use it on the Steam Deck, but also on my Desktop PC running Linux.

If you have a particular game in mind you can check protondb.com, which tries to cover both Proton compatibility and Deck compatibility.
Yeah, when w10 dies this is probably what I’ll end up doing too. I want to ditch windows but a lot of the programs I use don’t have Linux support
Was the same for me and I said screw it, and figured out alternate programs to use , annoyamce ? For sure but18 months later it’s no longer an issue.
Windows 10 ESU is free if you have settings sync turned on
You can use windows freely without activating, or at least you could last time I needed it.
