Escape from Tarkov is the only reason I have a Windows Hard drive still. It doesn't have anything else on it.

EFT has a pretty ridiculous history with attempts at anticheat. Several years ago they set up their servers to kick anyone with virtualization enabled because cheaters had been using VMs to intercept network traffic (the network traffic wasn't encrypted for tarkov then). The response from cheaters was to use a seperate bare metal build to intercept the traffic. The devs "fixed" it right before windows 11 came out with virtualization on by default.
FWIW, PvE and modded Tarkov does actually run fine on Linux (Streets map doesn't, nor does Arena).
It's definitely not the same, but between Arc Raiders and PvE I get my extraction shooter fix. Online Tarkov is mostly populated by Gaming Wizards™ anyways.
Yes I am playing Arc Raiders now instead of Tarkov because switching is not worth it. Until it will be!
