The Anti cheat stuff along with some graphical glitches on some games (namely the original Deus Ex, ancient I know but I love it) meant I couldn't fully commit to Steam on Linux. But booting up the Master Chief Collection and signing into Xbox live to play Halo 3 on Linux at better framerates than Windows really tickled my sense of irony, what a feat they've managed!

And I also miss community maintained dedicated servers, with some opinionated admin who boots off cheaters. I don't like installing the kernel-level anti cheat stuff even on Windows, it is no better than that Sony BMG rootkit that kicked up a storm years ago, now we just accept it in the rear for some reason. Centralisation ruins everything.
