#EA has confirmed that #Battlefield 6 will be completely unplayable on #Linux systems, including #SteamDeck, due to its new kernel-level anti-cheat system, “EA Javelin,” which explicitly blocks Linux. This move is a slap in the face to the growing #Linuxgaming community, especially considering how far compatibility has come with #Proton and #SteamOS.

Worse yet, EA is using open-source tech like the #GodotEngine in parts of the game, while denying access to the very platforms that champion #opensource. It’s hypocritical and #anticonsumer.

There’s no option to disable #anticheat for #singleplayer or #privateservers, meaning users who value #privacy or #freedom of platform are locked out entirely.

It's a hostile decision rooted in control, not security.

Our anti-cheat page has hit 100 games noted to have the anti-cheat enabled for Linux / SteamOS players - https://www.gamingonlinux.com/anticheat/

I don't know what's happening but booting into the CURRENT version of SteamOS on my Steam Deck did the "speed run" into fallback mode in 39 seconds...perhaps it "saved the cache" regarding both booting modes into fallback, both current SteamOS and the previous one!

Steam OS is not something you can easily trust on this device...just did another "speedrun" and it is not booting into fallback mode...also didn't do that on my current version and don't seem to be doing that now on the old version like it worked before...

Should have taken 40 seconds like it did before...maybe I missed something?

I FIGURED IT OUT (maybe?) more in the next post
