All the games I’ve played with anti-cheat software under Linux, exclusively run in userspace.
That’s (of the reasons) why you can’t consistently determine which ACS work: those that support Linux have to make the compromise of not running in kernel space (let alone as root), and sensibly let the developer choosing whether to allow such compromise.
Some games with this on the store page run natively on Linux. Not sure how it works, does the Linux version just not use the anticheat?
They may be a native Linux-supported game.
Otherwise, I know Easy Anti-Cheat is available on Steam for Linux, you install it just like if it’s its own game, then other games use it. I don’t know about any other anti-cheat software.
You can always check out protondb.com for info on a specific game.

Wait, so they don’t need kernal-level access? Ridiculous.
Some anticheat works fine with Linux. I know whatever Hell Let Loose uses work fine with proton.
