Ubisoft added Easy Anti-Cheat support for Linux and Valve's Proton compatibility layer. I play Division 2 and it runs just fine. More of them are being added by the AAA studios. Missing is Vanguard / Riot Anti-Cheat, no idea when that will get added. Thus far games have not tried to dork with my kernel.

EAC has supported Linux for a while now as far as I remember. The problem is, it is up to the game developers to enable support in their config for that or not, and most of them are choosing not to especially for games where any weakness would be abused like Rust. Someone had posted a proof of concept where they ported the Linux EAC to Windows, which allowed them to bypass checks that would be performed on a Windows machine.
