This was already covered in a video by Dave2d (Lemmy discussion here), but it’s great to see more widespread coverage of how great performance is for SteamOS vs windows.

Some highlights:

    The anti-cheat programs provide uninstall options, but you’re basically just assuming they actually uninstalled and didn’t leave anything behind. You don’t have any control over whether it actually fully removes itself or not, it’s very difficult to verify that nothing was left behind, and some have been caught leaving software behind or reinstalling themselves silently later.

    Apex Legends also has kernel anti-cheat, so my point still stands. Also Apex legends famously had people’s machines get hacked through it’s anti-cheat during a tournament.

      Some anti cheat work better than others, and it depends on how much you’d like to play the game that needs it. Plenty of games without.

      EAC does not hide its process and you can see it running. If it’s not, perhaps it has left files behind, but that’s a Windows issue more than EAC’s.
