> quite a few anti-cheat systems will not work in Proton
A lot of interesting "hacks" (sorry for calling gaming on Linux a hack) are made impractical by this.
Another is that you can buy a miner's GPU (no video output, but much cheaper) and modify the drivers to route video through integrated graphics VO. Or, modify drivers to support SLI on any nvidia card. These driver modifications require running Windows in a special mode, which triggers anti-cheats. Maybe there's a way around that. Haven't heard of it being attempted on Linux. By the way, these driver modifications are just removing artificial restrictions.
