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.
Look to Minecraft servers like Hypixel for how anticheat should be done. You can completely hack your client, but your every movement is scrutinized by the server and only the data you need is received. This cripples what cheating can allow you to do without using client side anticheat and still enabling mods that improve quality of life.
While i do like how hypixel does it, hypixel has a LOT of cheaters, even in an environment significantly less conducive to them than stuff like valorant and apex.
