Those games all show up on Lutris.
Anti-cheats don’t work, even if the game runs. It’s the curse of always online gaming.
I heard that with the rising popularity of the Steam Deck, EAC is working on Linux compatibility (at least through Proton). In fact, I think it's been available for developers to switch on right now.
That's kinda the Linux curse. It works for almost every use case and the use cases it works for are increasing every year. But it's still not every use case.
For work I can live with terrible teams for linux and prospect mail. But for my private main PC, there are just too many use cases that are important to me, that still don't work.
Totally get it. I’ve got 1-2 pieces of hardware that are also windows dependent, so I still need to find solutions for them. Otherwise it’s exactly what you say, a few specific use cases that can’t be replicated.
It can be mitigated by adding a second, lesser gpu to use for a Linux main host and then pass the main gpu through to windows, but that’s contingent on 2 gpus. I’d need a new case and to watercool mine to do it, so I figure I’m just going to wait until I do a full upgrade and then run Linux as the main. I’ve had a great experience with Pop_OS on desktop so far.
My solution to overcome that was to have a windows VM on my server. Kind of edge case since most people won't have spare computing power on a machine in the closet, but that's how I managed to switch to Linux full time.
