I don’t quite understand the criticism. It’s not gonna be top of the line, but it’s more than enough to replace my dying laptop from 2015 that I pretty much only ever use like a desktop anyway. And I can save myself the time and effort of picking parts, building, and dealing with shit not working as expected.


Unmotivated? Its a literal checkbox in the anticheats that games package to enable running in Proton. This is not Valve’s responsibility, but idiot or lazy game companies/devs.
Secure boot is what I think you’re thinking of because of Battlefield 6. But as I understand from just skimming it, its handled a bit differently in Linux than Windows, so unsure of how that could be handled or adapted for native Windows games.
Haha, unmodified, of course
Yea, no, was more thinking, if devs don’t trust anticheat with proton, they may trust Valve implementing a console style semi-ROM filesystem on a secure separate partition that is only writable with secret key from valve in some sort and the game is installed there in symlink style, but anticheat is built into that semi-ROM.
Like a Linux-Subsystem-Console
I am just writing showering thoughts, I don’t play games that require anticheat software…
