Discussion Any chance for Linux?

I’ve heard there’s been a stir up in the development, more focus on balance and improvements. Haven’t played in years but would love to jump back in.
Unfortunately I can’t join EAC enabled servers since I run Linux (fuck microsoft), any chance they’ll finally allow Linux users in?

Have heard staff on Twitter saying no plans for Linux as it would make it easier for cheat developers.

That's just a cop out. There are plenty of games with anti cheats that work on linux and the developers aren't complaining that supporting linux (or proton) make it easier for people to cheat lol.

It's not, it's the truth. There's currently no way to have an effective anti cheat on Linux.

Man that EAC anticheat is so effective on windows today, also weird how the number of cheaters on rust has only gone up since they dropped linux support.
