Well it can stop users from plugging other devices into their computer when they have valorant launched, so things like hacks on a USB wouldn't be possible, and that it can see all of your usb devices on your pc, and then it can see what's being opened on your computer, it basically can see everything your doing which is a huge privacy concern. that's why people had been talking about that someone could easily use the rootkit to do some malicious shit with it, while on eac on Linux it can only see our home partition lol, but on windows it can see a bit more of your file system as permissions aren't rlly a thing on windows Sept the admin stuff. Apex handles cheaters kinda well these days so it's more about reporting and banning those people. Anticheats are only supposed to stop the user from loading cheats but if it fails to do that which it usually does then it's up to the support team of that game to ban them

Yes this is true as lots of Nvidia users have told me otherwise, when I used a rtx 2060 on Linux for about 6 months before I switched to a amd rx 6700 and it's been the best experience I have ever had in gaming on a PC in general honestly. Nvidia "works" in terms of installing the driver, playing games do "work" but the big issue is vulkan shader loader on steam and then third party games that run on lutris, bottles that require specific environment variables for the game to not stutter or to switch to dxvk async as a instant fix for loading shaders but async is being kicked out because it's a hack and includes a lot of patches the devs don't like.
You can turn off the vulkan loader as Nvidia has a way of loading shaders rather quickly, but it does it in the most stupid way possible that example in apex I had to wait 5minutes in the lobby to load all of my shaders so that the game wouldn't stutter when I entered a game. It pinned all of my cpu cores to 100% to load it instead of the GPU doing it which is so weird, this is supposedly already fixed in the "vulkan beta Nvidia driver" but who the normal user is gonna fuck around in the terminal to install a beta version of a driver that could easily break something.
While on amd all you need for gaming is mesa 23.1 or above so that you have gpl/graphics pipeline library, and then you can disable the pre caching vulkan loader, then that's it, everything else is smooth sailing already as drivers are already preinstalled, Wayland is more supported on amd because of its open source nature, and games run amazing on it. Best investment you could make if you want to fully switch to Linux as your main operating system ngl.
The only upside to Nvidia is that your new gpu's will mostly work out of the box while the newest amd cards will need to mature for a bit before buying but if you run something like arch and you use mesa git + the newest kernel patches then the experience will get better and better everyday as the drivers mature for those cards
I don't even know how to code LOL I know the bare minimum of installing packages either through the gui or through the terminal which isn't coding, just simple commands for installing packages that the gui would do for you
You have gui stores like gnome software, kde plasma discover gui store that let you install application super easy with one click install buttons that's it
Example installing discord on Ubuntu through terminal Sudo means root, apt the package manager that's gonna install the package for us, install telling apt to install said application/software, discord the application. That's it, you type y and it will install said application.
And I even started a YouTube channel called Linux benchmarks with plenty of simple tutorials of how to setup things like proton and learning those things in apps like lutris or bottles or heroic games launcher which are all gui applications for setting up games.
Editing I use kdenlive another gui application, gimp another gui application, updating it through the store as well or you can do the terminal either one they do the exact same thing.
Here's my thoughts about using Linux on both a Nvidia setup and now a full amd setup for one year :)
It's awesome that Linux is becoming almost a mainstream desktop operating system. The year of Linux is here just another year or 2 and gaming on Linux will be near perfect. But sadly we will not able to play any kernel anticheat games like valorant but who gives a fuck about that game anyways lmao
iv moved to linux for over a year now when proton started getting rlly good and iv enjoyed it so much i started a small youtube channel lmao. software has gotten rlly good aswell in the foss universe with package managers like flatpak and some amazing gtk4 apps
gaming on linux is a breeze and with valve making more deals to get companies to support proton for linux/steamdeck
its going to continue to get better and better until windows will not be required anymore
hey, thats my video lol
Been using it and it works wonderfully :) cut my flatpak folder 9gb to around 5gb :P
