Not all kernel level anti-cheat are the same. Riot’s Vanguard and whatever Battlefield 6 uses requires TPM and SecureBoot and they quite invasive. I believe Vanguard just runs in the background even you’re not running the game. which is awful. Arc Raiders made some pragmatic concessions to allows the game to run on Proton and Steam Deck which is pretty good.

And worth pointing out that the Linux version of EAC (which is what Embark games use) runs in user space. It’s literally not kernel level anticheat on Linux.
