    I think you might be overestimating the computer acumen of the military.

    I mean, are you running War Thunder on your Abrams tank or F35?

    It won’t be on Linux. Many games that support Linux use a less invasive version of their anti-cheat for Linux.

    Unfortunately that is sometimes used as an excuse for not supporting Linux or dropping Linux support.

      I would be very very disappointed if they dropped Linux.

    Seems like it is. The price you pay to play these games is to have proprietary spyware running with root access on your device
