At the very least we can call BS on developers who claim they don't support Linux because it's niche, while they support MacOS.

Developers don't have to support Linux natively because Proton does the job very well

They still have to make sure their anticheat works on Linux. That's the biggest missing support.

The anti cheat does already work on Linux, just needs a checkbox tick to enable.

I know, but it still something developers need to do to support Linux

Plus testing and training customer support.

They can just say that Linux is not supported though with proton because the community will just make it run better if they don't block do anything to block Linux.

Some anti-cheats work on Linux. Some do not, like Riot's Vanguard.

Ime native ports rarely work as well as proton versions do too.

Especially with atypical setups, like Wayland
