Some games with this on the store page run natively on Linux. Not sure how it works, does the Linux version just not use the anticheat?
They may be a native Linux-supported game.
Otherwise, I know Easy Anti-Cheat is available on Steam for Linux, you install it just like if it’s its own game, then other games use it. I don’t know about any other anti-cheat software.
You can always check out protondb.com for info on a specific game.
As a Linux gamer, that uses Proton to play games, I’m sure glad they did.
Makes it easy to figure out if I should bother buying the game or not.

Would not buy even when playing on Windows
The big issue is when they randomly add it in the future. You can’t buy games assuming they’ll continue to work.
Point taken, but, nobody can tell the future (if they could, they’d be in Vegas doing two shows a night).
You make your “best guess” purchasing decisions at a single point in time.

Yep, it’s something to consider when looking at multiplayer games and how “friendly” the developer/publisher has been in the past.
Rockstar, for example, has always been super shitty towards PC gamers.
Apex Legends was a bit of a surprise to me, and especially the doubling down with that stupid chart.

Some anticheat works fine with Linux. I know whatever Hell Let Loose uses work fine with proton.
