There’s many different reasons (all of them ignorant or blatantly made in bad faith) but one that I recall off the top of my head is that, since Linux gives users more freedom and more control over their operating system and computer, playing on Linux makes it easier for you to cheat in games. They like that in Windows, there’s parts of the system that Microsoft simply doesn’t allow users to touch, because in some cases, they still can, so they can use that to implement things like rootkits sorry I mean “kernel-level anti-cheat” that users have no effective way of removing or bypassing.
I have always found this argument disingenuous. Cheaters still find a way. At the end of the day, if you don’t want cheaters, then play games with people you trust.
Especially nowadays, you could train an “AI” on your monitor and KBM and let it play the game for you. Nothing could ever stop that cheating, so if it’s that simple and unpreventable maybe we should stop allowing rootkits to take over our entire kernel.

The funniest part about this shit is that people are still cheating. On Windows. It’s not any better with these anti cheat methods.
