Nope. They had anti cheat that supported it, but they experienced higher issues with cheating via linux than elsewhere. Which sucks. People who cheat suck.
I'm curious to see how Valve will respond to this seeing as they have CS. I imagine they'd be interested to build a solution but I'm not sure how plausible that even is.
I never understand why when this happens the solution is always "cut off everyone" instead of placing Linux players in a lower trust lobby
That would just cause legit Linux players to generate negativity by always being stuck with cheaters. It's way easier to just remove support if it really is most of your cheating problems for such a small player base.
Linux users are starting to sound like a bunch of entitled dicks. /s
