All the games I've played with anti-cheat software under Linux, exclusively run in userspace.
That's (of the reasons) why you can't consistently determine which ACS work: those that support Linux have to make the compromise of not running in kernel space (let alone as root), and sensibly let the developer choosing whether to allow such compromise.
