> Then there's the competitive gaming scene where most serious anti cheat systems are not supported in Linux and may never be.

Hopefully the bit where Valve is working with anti cheat makers actually comes to fruition and works widely:

  Online games that make use of anti-cheat software didn't play ball with Proton,
  but Valve has been working with the developers to add support for its set of tools.
  Now, you can install and enjoy games that use tools like BattleEye and not need to
  fire up a Windows install to just play one game every so often.

That part actually scares me. Many anti-cheat softwares on Windows are basically rootkits. I don't want shit on my Linux machine.
