@Xaero_Vincent thanks for the info and nice update from Guy1524 (Codeweavers Developer, just what he wrote :)

I pretty much look at this subreddit everyday hoping for good news with EAC ! Thanks for sharing.

Guy1524: Good news should be coming pretty soon 😏

Guy1524 is the source, he's a skilled programmer who implemented raw input, the first person to actually get Media Foundation working in games, and he's now been working on EAC support.

He was working on BattlEye a year ago. I think he stopped working for anti-cheats.

Guy1524: Yes, I did. The reason why I've gotten back into it is that a member of the VKx community has made software for de-virtualizing binaries, making the task much more feasible.

How long do you think will we have to wait? A month? A year?

Guy1524: I'm not sure, I would guess within a month, but you never know. Just know steady progress is being made.

Sorry to be sort of off topic but does this also mean BattlEye is getting supported? Or would that require separate support?

Guy1524: separate

sorry but in my eye it is the opposite, as soon as you let them play with AUR you can for sure expect that they will soon break their system!
Just some examples

I help/helped a lot of companies to switch from Windows to Linux and most of this companies need stability and a minimum of support, if they would use manjaro or arch then it would be a disaster not only for me but also for them!! Most of them need little support now because everything works as it should and that now for years.

Libreoffice using always the latest version is a big issue, because libreoffice tend to break stuff in every new version and then need often months before they fix them or will never fix them, so you need to change many documents to get them working with bleeding edge libreoffice! and if you really need it then adding the needed ppa is not more issue then playing around with AUR.

Companies which use Autocad i switched them to BricsCAD and no Bricscad doesn't work good in Arch based distributions.

Vivadesigner no way to get it running in Arch based distributions

and i could go on and on.

Driver what do you need, most of the time you need a up to date Hardware stack, so one ppa for AMD/Intel, or for NVIDA also one ppa and thats it.

And no this customers won't go into Forums/Wikis and search for solutions they will call me :) which is good because it means money for me, but that's not what i want, i want happy customers and not everyday calls because something in manjaro/arch doesn't work as it should, because an update again broke something.

Its the same with servers how many servers are arch based or generally rolling releases, correct almost none and that for good reasons.

Manjaro/Arch is fun to play around and test stuff, if they need bleeding edge then for sure they need to be experienced and know them self how to fix stuff.

But Manjaro/Arch is nothing for beginners or for people trying to switch away from Windows. Users who tried Manjaro, to switch away from Windows, most of the time go back to Windows after they had the first issues.

Please take note that this are just my personal experiences which i had over the years, and i also use manjaro on one of my PCs and i also like it, but the articles on some public sites (not linux specific sites) who say Manjaro is great for beginners are really strange!

Quoting: rustybroomhandleIf we're going to throw around generalisations, then I'll go with: Users want to be able to run the software they want to run. When it come to running non-standard type stuff, it's way easier to point a user to the AUR than to explain PPAs or Flatpak or such things. Same with drivers. "Bleeding edge" has its downsides, but Linux gaming is currently a teenager undergoing a huge growth spurt... you kind-of want the most up to date vulkan/gpu driver/ etc.

Also, Manjaro is hardly bleeding edge. It's just the right amount of conservative. imo.

sorry but i really must rant now, i can't hear that crap anymore about Manjaro or Arch based distributions, i get a lot of support requests because many sites now make articles that Manjaro is great for beginners or First Time Users :><:, sorry but WTF, no it is not great for beginners. Normal users don't need f**king bleeding edge the only thing they need is a updated hw stack and a stable base thats it.
SteamOS for sure won't go arch, they will stay on Debian or Ubuntu base, or maybe go rpm CentOS, Suse, Redhat base and will use a bleeding edge hw stack for needed stuff in their own repo and thats it.
