It'd be even better if it was possible to run the game in single player with having to install some anti-cheat solution, though.
Afaik, native Linux version of Easy Anti Cheat is not kernel level.

The state of affairs in Linux community saddens me as of late. So much to say but I am clearly in the minority. Never mind...

Seems it will have Native Linux support again too as it was just added as "TBC" on Steam.
Demo version has native Linux build, the full game will probably support Linux natively.

openSUSE Leap 16.0 will need Steam gamers to install some extras due to no 32-bit

Regarding cutting 32 Bit ... look, what happened on the macos side in that regard.
Made me spend an entire day to reinstall Mojave, diddling with Steam installation commands to downgrade Steam to a compatible version and hunt for essential compatible software such as web browser, office suite, etc... To put simply, pain for users. It shouldn't be a rocket science to keep an already working arch. Morons...

Mastercard release a statement about game stores, payment processors and adult content

But instead of doing any of that, Valve just said, fuck it, and hid all these games in Germany.
Huh, that wasn't like that between 2011 and 2015 in Germany. I remember purchasing plenty of violent games on Steam in Germany at the time. It must be have been changed later on.

It is the retailer who is responsible and accountable of the legality of the content sold in a store. Steam can and does region block products depending on local laws. Games containing Nazi swastikas are region blocked or region adapted in Germany and Austria. Not all explicit content were sold on Steam were illegal, few of them would be deemed illegal in some countries. Then Steam should have rigorous checks to region block certain products depending on local laws.

If pushing payment processors to enforce a political agenda becomes a norm, any sizable well organized political group can do the same to ban products containing opposing ideas. Just put any political group and opposing idea in this scenario, you will see the danger.

Splitgate 2 is "going back to beta" with the original shutting down as 1047 Games have layoffs

First game that people including me spent money getting killed, won't work at all, but people fixated with a stupid hat... Sigh...

The removable rechargeable battery is gone as is AA battery support.
Wow, I didn't see that. Well, they don't advertise this on the official comparison chart, just 1000mAh vs 1000mAh. That sucks... Removable buttons are great but removable battery is a must for longevity of the device. I guess Pro 2 is still the king of symmetrical gamepads.
