they’d have to do all kinds of work embedding their anti cheat in the kernel.
Prime example here is Rainbow Six Siege, they use Battle-Eye for their anti cheat. Battle-Eye has supported linux since 2021 and all the developers have to do is phone up Battle-Eye and enable Proton support.
Ridiculous right?
What baffles me is how they intentionally make their games unplayable on Linux, and the same can be said about EA.
Yes! PiHole does offer whitelisting profiles for devices however, Apple/IOS devices with their “Private Wi-Fi addresses” make it pain given how the Mac Addresses regularly rotate.
Yeah, PiHole is great if you live by yourself otherwise the entire household will have it out for you.
Learned that lesson the hard way.
The only thing I had to work around was downloading the deb build of Discord Canary to enable audio output in Discord streams since it was only recently added to Discord’s dev/beta build (Canary).
Keep in mind Linux is all about FOSS, if the software you use doesn’t have all the features you want look around for alternatives.
I encountered this same issue when installing Discord and opted to use Vencord instead.
Ubisoft cannot be forgiven on how much time they wasted remastering all the original maps. That’s when I called it quits.
