Side note, games like BF6 that cannot run in Linux are also what keep me from migrating to a Linux distro. I'd be off Windows in a second if all games ran on it no issues.

For those curious about it: People are working on it (of course Valve has vested interest in this). Unfortunately Corposcum such as Ubisoft, EA or Krafton aren't interested unless they get complete system control for their overreaching anticheats, and hell freezes over before Linux provides kernel modules for this stuff. Even if every gaming distro would bring DKMS (Dynamic Kernel Module System), that in turn basically breaks Secure Boot (Secure Boot is a Microsoft system - not Linux' fault). Also the support by Linux devs and distro maintainers would literally be a negative number. Kernel-level anticheat is correctly considered malware.

I think Valve was experimenting with Microkernels and Virtualization or sth… but that's a long way to go. And those other big corpos will only ever give a fuck once their Investors start seeing Linux as a truly exploitable market.

The game feels really unbalanced as well, so many rounds it's one team completely stomping the other and it's not even close. Often 900 tickets to 0.

It's a miracle how a multi-billion dollar company can consistently fumble matchmaking this badly.

How does DKMS and such break secure boot? If you want to load (custom) kernel modules, just generate a key pair, sign the module yourself, import your MOK into your UEFI (once, assuming you use the same key for all your modules and also keep a backup of your reinstall your system) and secure boot will let you do that.

I’m running current NVIDIA drivers on Linux and that’s basically the setup to use them- and since that is already set up, i’d not even need to to anything specific to get it working for other things.

Note: I do not endorse kernel level anti cheat and would never load such a module, but the infrastructure for it is already there and can be used with secure boot…
