About anticheat: it depends which games you're playing. If they use Valve's EasyAnti Cheat you should have no problem (been playing dota2, cs2, csgo... without trouble for some time now). If they use ~~malware~~ kernel-level anticheat (iirc helldivers 2, valorant, league of legends) you won't be able to run them in linux and should keep a windows dual boot.
Some kernel anticheats work too, I had no issues playing Helldivers and Hell Let Loose, both of which use EAC. Developers have to enable Linux support, which AFAIK is just one checkbox, so you still get games that don't allow it (like EVE Vanguard), but most of them are OK.
League and Valorant is a different story, those don't work.
Oh thanks for the correction, I was mistaken. I'm happy I was wrong :)
Games that use Vanguard don't work afaik, but Helldivers 2 works just fine via Proton.
Helldivers 2 works on Linux.
Good to know!
