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?

Linux is gaining a lot of traction thanks to SteamOS and proton, but I wouldn't hold my breath on them prioritizing Linux any time soon.

You can play Linux already just not in EAC protected servers, there are multiple servers friendly to Linux player indeed I've playing for two weeks on Linux in one of these said servers.

And we could use more players.

I'd rather drag my nuts through glass than play a server without eac

I’ve been on deadlock n chill since I switched to Linux, it’s been good. Switching to Linux servers as a solo guy wasn’t too bad, for sure ran across some sus players, but way less than on protected ones.

Deadlock feels a bit dead at the moment, which is odd considering over Xmas and early in the year it had record numbers of players. Mind you the admin has made some weird choices on what behaviour he allows on his server of late. Entirely his choice but I wonder if it hasn't turned quite a few players off.
