if it makes you feel any better i doubt cs runs on steam Linux

Considering that Valve has a native Linux release for Counter Strike (as well as all their other titles), I doubt you looked much into this.

yeah to be fair i last looked 5 years ago.. how did they resolve anticheat? last i tried VAC was kind of a showstopper. if its evolved thats awesome

I think they basically just gave up. From what I hear VAC is a bit of a joke.

Every Valve game released has a native Linux version. That includes every counter strike game.

But that’s only occurred in the last ~5 years, no?

Kind of. Valve started actively porting their stuff in 2013, around the time Microsoft released Windows 8 and rumors started flying around that you'll only be able to use Windows Store to download apps.

So, way over 5 years. But time flies by fast.
