In this video focused on developers (https://youtube.com/watch?v=5Q_C5KVJbUw at 5:54) they mention they are working with BattlEye and EAC to get it working prior to Steam Deck release. In my experience EAC was the reason that many games that were otherwise perfectly fine became broken because of anti cheat. This should make a huge difference.
“Perfectly fine” for cheaters too. that’s the issue with anti cheat on Linux. It’s much easier to verify the integrity of a windows environment.
Here is the quote, from this page:

> For Deck, we're vastly improving Proton's game compatibility and support for anti-cheat solutions by working directly with the vendors.

Is it easy for an anti cheat verify that it’s running on an untampered Linux installation?
