online anti cheats are the worst thing - eviltoast

Recently, i had to move from nixos to windows against my will simpy because of anti cheats. While i dont game that much, the few games i enjoy playing are all online with some kind of anti cheat. I used to dual boot but i was tired of having to wait for my slow hdd to load windows (i only have one ssd). I literally used linux for everything else but because of anti cheats i am forced to move to windows. I managed to make it a little better by using wsl2 and removing bloatware but it will never be the same as linux

    In my experience, most Windows-exclusive games work just fine under Wine. It’s not that big a deal.

    This thread isn’t even about Windows games per se, but about a few games whose anti-cheats are screwing over Linux users.
