Not if you can't get past the 50-step impossible Arkose captchas they show to third-world countries, ones that require you to actually be a robot to get past them with 0 mistakes.

They're also intentionally blocking Linux support, which is growing fast in the global south due to the growing hardware demands of Windows. They allowed Linux for a while, but now they want people to run their new kernel-level anticheat

It worked for some years and was as easy as downloading something from Flathub, then near March they announced they will be blocking it again[0]. The only options now are to do hacky Android emulation with Waydroid to run the Android client, or Windows VM with GPU passthrough, neither of which are reasonable options for most people

They did for a while, but recently officially broke it again.
