Jovian-NixOS VS AreWeAntiCheatYet

I really want one of these overpowered handhelds so I can run https://jovian-experiments.github.io/Jovian-NixOS/ as a semi-portable daily driver

Same. Also recently added a steam deck to the fleet with https://jovian-experiments.github.io/Jovian-NixOS/

UPDATE: People from the Steam Deck discord community recommended this one: https://github.com/Jovian-Experiments/Jovian-NixOS

The only thing relevant to this that I know is https://github.com/Jovian-Experiments/Jovian-NixOS.

Neat! Personally I went the extra mile and went with NixOS + Jovian-NixOS (to get the Deck's steam-session) on mine. It still requires a couple of workarounds for broken functionality (like SD cards not automounting due to the FHS container, fixed by using a udev rule + replacement script to notify Steam) but otherwise works like a charm!

I only really play single player, but I have run into this too. This is a great resource to keep track of progress - https://areweanticheatyet.com/

It varies by game. https://areweanticheatyet.com/ is an interesting resource for that because they also track announcements by developers about whether or not linux support is eventually planned.

AFAIK the games that don't work are more modern, competetive games that use Anticheat. https://areweanticheatyet.com/ is a good resource to see the status of your game.

It is game by game basis. Use this guide to see if the game you play is supported or not.

The only caveat to that is online games with anti-cheat. EAC and BattlEye both support Linux but requires studios to tick a box, many of which refuse. Any kernel-layer AC that doesn't have a userspace component will not run on Linux. Can see a list of games and their AC support here.

> except Multiplayer online games

That's no longer the case. I'd say about now, there are more multiplayer games that you can play, as opposed to ones you can't play.

See: https://areweanticheatyet.com/ as reference, but it's not very up-to-date, so https://www.protondb.com/ would probably be a better reference.

Only listed the 'bigger' ones, but you have a rather full list here if you want to check your favorite games: arwianticheatyet.com

Nope, just works. There are some games that use invasive kernel-level anticheat that wont work as Linux sensibly blocks anything that shouldn't be messing with the kernel, but I'm not personally interested in those games anyway. EAC and Battleye both support Linux, but requires devs to tick a box, which there's several that can't be bothered.
