Got this from a post on the alien site. From previous discussion on Lemmy it sounded like Linux users had good things to say about this game but were discouraged about the upcoming FaceIt implementation such that they wouldn’t be able to join anticheat enabled matches. Those users and Linux gamers on the fence would probably appreciate hearing this news.
With this announcement on the dev team’s community Discord, it appears Linux users will NOT lose access to matches with anticheat.

[EN|CN] PoM (Moderator shield) Today at 16:23 Just announced on [Stage Channel] there will be a new version of FaceIT that supports Linux!!! (Popular version of Linux and SteamDeck will be supported) And different than the CSGO version. BBR will be the first game to be using that version (A more casual version)
That is amazing if true! I contacted faceit quite recently to ask if they were considering Linux support at all, and they replied saying that they were not aware of any plans to support it. Super happy to hear this because I have been loving Battlebit for months now. Maybe one day we’ll be able to play FaceIT cs on Linux!
