However, there's a laughably easy workaround.

      Buy an OEM key next time, I’ve never spent more than 20 bucks for Pro.

          Yeah, I mostly use Linux. Unfortunately, certain games only run on Windows and you’re stuck using it if you want to play those titles.

            Ah, anti-cheat problems? Feels like those are nearly the only ones that won’t play nice with Proton nowadays

              Some work surprisingly well. Elden ring for example. The funny thing is when I close Elden ring in windows, the anti cheat splash page stays and I need to close it from task manager. In Linux it just closes by itself as it should.

                Isn’t Elden Ring single player? Why would that need anti-cheat?

            There are so many good games out there, I can simply skip the ones that don’t run on Linux.
