    EAC on your Linux install it’s worth asking why you’re running Linux

    Why is that even a question? Running EAC doesn’t undermine why you run Linux (which can have many different reasons). It’s not like EAC takes over your PC like on Windows. The Linux implementation is completely different and uses Linux features, controlled by Linux and not the EAC anticheat. EAC cannot do whatever they want and they don’t get root rights (unlike Windows version of the anticheat).

          You misunderstand me: I’m grateful that the current Linux EAC doesn’t do kernel/root level bullshit like the Windows version because Helldivers players just got it foisted on us

            Ah I see. Mee too. I was playing a lot Marvel Rivals, and their anticheat doesn’t have this rootkit behavior, nor is it even possible without giving it root access.
