Looks like SteamOS and the accompanying hardware are enough of a success that they're at least spending _some_ resources to try and figure out anticheat on Linux.

What can competitive games even do in the long run against cheating on Linux since cheaters can re-compile the kernel to hide away things like memory reads, mouse movement and rendering?

I also wonder if Apex Legends will re-enable Linux support in the near future to test this anticheat.
