Comment on Microsoft is plugging more holes that let you use Windows 11 without an online account
Sina@beehaw.org 1 day agoNvidia still has its pains, but it’s certainly daily drivable now.
Is there any way of telling which ones will and won’t run on Linux?
It’s very easy, if a game doesn’t have invasive data thieving anticheat, then it will run on Linux, otherwise it won’t. Sometimes it takes some fiddling, but pretty much anything at least a month old without anti will run.

Can you be clearer about this? The majority of games I play on PC are online multiplayer.

Here’s a nice list.

Online multiplayer games are the most likely to have anti cheat. EA (Battlefield) is the most visible unsupported one. They view running under any virtualization or compatibility layer as an opportunity for cheating, so they intentionally deny it. EasyAntiCheat supports running in Linux, but not all game developers enable it. The success of the Steam Deck is starting apply pressure to change this, though.

last time I tried VRChat on a non-Windows platform (admittedly a year ago) EAC still got me. I then tried to run a Windows VM and it still complained. I'm not sure if the VRChat entry on this list is up-to-date
