Well, no. The issue is mainly that cheat makers like to run their exploits on Linux whenever they can, so blocking Linux as a platform is the easiest and bluntest tool game developers have to combat the problem. On Windows, they have kernel-level access for their anti-cheat that they don't have on Linux as well (although the benefit of that is debatable)."</p>
<p>Am investigating reports (which I've confirmed personally) of Fall Guys also no longer working on Linux / Steam Deck since the latest update which appears to have adjusted their anti-cheat.</p><p>Waiting on a developer reply at the moment.</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@gamingonlinux" class="u-url mention">@<span>gamingonlinux</span></a></span> yet they lost also good players that were enthusiast about the game, like me :-(</p>
<p>Blocking Linux / Steam Deck in Apex Legends led to a 'meaningful reduction' in cheaters <a href="https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2025/02/blocking-linux-steam-deck-in-apex-legends-led-to-a-meaningful-reduction-in-cheaters/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">gamingonlinux.com/2025/02/bloc</span><span class="invisible">king-linux-steam-deck-in-apex-legends-led-to-a-meaningful-reduction-in-cheaters/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ApexLegends" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ApexLegends</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AntiCheat" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>AntiCheat</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Linux</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SteamDeck" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SteamDeck</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SteamOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SteamOS</span></a></p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://hachyderm.io/@cliffle" class="u-url mention">@<span>cliffle</span></a></span> I think that's an incredibly cool project and if you've shown it to me when I was in uni (... 2011?), right before I started developing the language I eventually deprecated in favor of using the then-still-having-conditions-for-error-handling Rust, I would've been all over it</p><p>unfortunately I haven't touched an MCU in ages, it's all FPGAs now...</p>
<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://hachyderm.io/@cliffle" class="u-url mention">@<span>cliffle</span></a></span> sorry, i didn't describe it correctly. it evaluates to the number in []</p><p>it's so that you could write for example `leds[1]` in a constraint and it would evaluate to the right value without quoting it</p><p>awful :D</p>
<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://hachyderm.io/@cliffle" class="u-url mention">@<span>cliffle</span></a></span> don't worry, none of the FPGA toolchain vendors believe in exact Tcl spec compliance either; we're in good company by using something similar to but not quite identical to it :D</p><p>Vivado has quadratic `puts` and defines every number to be a command that returns a string corresponding to that number (can you figure out why), for example</p>
