"Linux" doesn't need to do anything here. What's missing is for anticheat vendors to develop kernel modules for Linux in addition to their Windows drivers.
I personally hope they never do, because present day anticheat systems are literally closed-source rootkits. You should not let that software onto any computer you own.
But then I don't really have a horse in the race, because I don't find competitive gaming with strangers enjoyable at all.

You let the people run their own servers and kick cheaters. That's one solution which has actively been taken away over the years.

"Solving" is one thing, adaption is another.
