As someone who almost exclusively plays multiplayer games - we are def not there. I agree with you that kernel-level anti-cheat needs to go and games should focus more on AI-based (behavior and pattern analysis) anti-cheats instead. But, it's simply not fair to to say that "we're already there" when almost 50% of the largest (most played) games out there don't work on Linux.
We are not there. Is it Linux's fault? No. But we are absolutely not there, yet.
I’m curious, what games have you tried that don’t work in Linux?
Perhaps I’m just lucky but it rarely happens to me these days.
RUST, VALORANT, PUBG_BATTLEGROUNDS, DELTA_FORCE, BATTLEFIELD_2042, TOM_CLANCYS_RAINBOW_SIX_SIEGE.
You probably don't play multiplayer games as much as I do.
