For LANs, Linux is just too much of a headache since a lot of games require Anti-Cheat that won't run in Linux.

I did that a few times but as soon as someone wants to play Valorant, you're out.

TBH we usually just turn off anti-cheat. No one at a LAN party is going to cheat against other LAN party participants.

It's only an issue if we want to join an internet game but we usually don't really want to deal with internet people anyway.

Never really understood the appeal of that kind of LAN party TBH. Too many people, not enough socialization opportunity, might as well just play on the internet from home.
