Linux is all good if you only play singleplayer games. My friends started playing the finals yesterday and it doesn't run on linux because of EAC. Windows can run all my games without any proton switching and all the nvidia features like ray reconstruction and pathtracing with frame generation just works (alan wake 2 looks so good).

All the developer needs to do is push a button to make EAC work. They're probably busy hotfixing the 1.0 but I'm sure it'll work soon, they are excluding all steam deck users by not pressing it

Edit: apparently it's not EAC that is the problem. The game has its own anti-cheat which also potentially bans your account if you try to play on linux https://www.protondb.com/app/2073850

So it's 100% the developer's choices that have resulted in this train wreck of a thread.

The Finals use EAC and their own anti-cheat, the latter causes issues
