EAC Linux v2 aims to close the protection gap with Windows, helping combat increasingly sophisticated cheats. Read the system requirements and what Linux distributions need to support here.
I can’t speak for APB or The Division here since I haven’t really played them, but…
TF2 is a 19 year old game that had its niche more or less taken over by Overwatch overnight and hasn’t seen a major update in the last 9 (Jungle Inferno). Cheaters or not, it shouldn’t be surprising that people want a bit more variety than that.
Tarkov (and extraction shooters in general) seem like outliers because there’s such an immense punishment for losing. I can believe that cheating would cause serious problems there, but personally I think that’s more just down to multiplayer perma(ish)death being a bad game design.
Apex is sort of in between. I did actually play it around when they dropped the Wine support, and don’t remember perception-of-cheating being much of a problem. Then again, I only played it on a pretty casual level. But you don’t need to ruin casual access to the game for the sake of competitive players, you could do something like Counter-Strike’s VAC/FACEIT split.
