From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You don't play many competitive multiplayer titles then. Anticheat us always a pain.
Battleye and Easy Anti Cheat are Linux native, but just cause that's the case doesn't mean they will work. Half of the games using them either never had an official linux version or are currently broken again.
A few games using Xigncode and nProtect work too, but there the number is even lower.
Punkbuster worked on wine for 5 years but often needs to be installed manually.
As for the more aggressive ones like Riccochet and Vanguard, you can't even run them in a VM environment.
