    Here’s a nice list.

    Online multiplayer games are the most likely to have anti cheat. EA (Battlefield) is the most visible unsupported one. They view running under any virtualization or compatibility layer as an opportunity for cheating, so they intentionally deny it. EasyAntiCheat supports running in Linux, but not all game developers enable it. The success of the Steam Deck is starting apply pressure to change this, though.

      last time I tried VRChat on a non-Windows platform (admittedly a year ago) EAC still got me. I then tried to run a Windows VM and it still complained. I’m not sure if the VRChat entry on this list is up-to-date
