Valve’s plan to bring SteamOS to more devices is a promising sign if you want to stop gaming on Windows (www.pcguide.com)

@hanke @DV8 Valve is highly unlikely to put a kernel-level anticheat that bans Linux users but as a piece of advice, don't run competitive multiplayer games on Linux, I mean do not get accustomed to, that also should apply to me since I play Palworld which is MP only, even on SP, you can have someone join at any time

I would recommend anyone to play competitive multiplayer games on Linux.

Competitive games, and specifically CS, has been my go-to for about 10 years (I am still shit tho). As you say, Valve will most likely not put anti-cheat that won't work on Linux in it. But if they would do that, I would just not be playing CS anymore.

I play what I like, and if they would make the stupid choice to break it for my machine I guess they just don't want me playing it any more. In that event, I guess I'll just have to find something else to play.

No. It's perfectly fine to play competitive multiplayer games on Linux. I haven't had any issues for the probably about two years I've been fully Linux now. Battleye and Easy Anti-cheat are both fully supported, and they're the most common ones. There's no need to worry about it. Every one I've tried works perfectly well, as long as it allows you to play at all.
