      Yep. I played Apex Legends since day one. About 2 years ago I discovered that on PopOS, it ran at 1440p, no upscaling, and was 20 to 25% faster with almost zero stutter.

      It was a huge jump in stability and made the game enjoyable to play.

      I quit playing about a year ago, but I will never go back to playing it on windows. So I guess that means I can no longer play Apex.

    Did my part. If I have to run Windows along with a root kit to play a game, I’ll stick to Linux.

    TBH, the game wasn’t really that great to begin with.

    To me, if Valve wants Linux multiplayer to have a future, they need to demonstrate that they can develop a good Linux anti-cheat solution.

    That’s much easier said than done. But I hope it’s a problem that they’re working on. Otherwise, it’s going to limit the potential of the Steam Deck and other future Valve Linux hardware.

      We’ll see if Valve’s partnership with Arch expands, it’s been suggested that Valve could do signature verification on the OS as a fork of verification.

      It would be nice of Valve could put this issue to rest considering its the top blocker on some leaderboards games.

      Personally I hope they solve it by making it “opt-in” for “Verified Multiplayer” as opposed to opt-out ‘take it or leave it’ as many games get canned robbing purchasers of their ability to enjoy abandoned games.

    Wow I can’t believe they put in the work to make anti cheat work on linux and then they just removed it.
