How will the upcoming anti-cheat system affect GNU/Linux users?

    Usually games with anti-cheat systems don't allow to play (or outright get a ban) on GNU/Linux platforms and I was wondering if such case is being considered?

    I’d imagine they’d want to keep the game’s Steam Deck Verified status, so it will likely still be Proton/SteamOS compatible at least. There are some games with anti-cheat that still are Steam Deck Verified, so it’s possible. I don’t know about other Linux distros though.

    I'm using Garuda Linux distro (special linux for gaming) and setted Sea of Thieves lauch with Proton. And sometimes EAC reacts on it like integrated Proton violently to SoT and sent me warning. I wonder - will I be banned for it?
