To me, if Valve wants Linux multiplayer to have a future, they need to demonstrate that they can develop a good Linux anti-cheat solution.
That's much easier said than done. But I hope it's a problem that they're working on. Otherwise, it's going to limit the potential of the Steam Deck and other future Valve Linux hardware.
We'll see if Valve's partnership with Arch expands, it's been suggested that Valve could do signature verification on the OS as a fork of verification.
It would be nice of Valve could put this issue to rest considering its the top blocker on some leaderboards games.
Personally I hope they solve it by making it "opt-in" for "Verified Multiplayer" as opposed to opt-out 'take it or leave it' as many games get canned robbing purchasers of their ability to enjoy abandoned games.
