Open-source anti-cheat for Linux gaming

Build a community-driven anti-cheat solution for Linux gamers. Focus on transparency and compatibility with popular games.

Why now

Linux gaming is growing, but cheating remains a concern without robust anti-cheat solutions.

Who for
Linux gamers and server admins
Business model
Donations and premium features
Effort
A few months

Linux gamers lack reliable anti-cheat tools, leading to unfair play and frustration.

Develop an open-source anti-cheat system that integrates with Proton and popular games.

Monetize via donations, sponsorships, or premium features for server admins.

Start with a basic detection system for common cheats in one game.

Risk: Game developers may not adopt or support third-party solutions.
