I thought EasyAntiCheat didn't like Linux?
It didn't, but EAC added Linux support a while ago... so any game dev can choose enable Linux support (and most do in my experience). I play many EAC games on Arch(, btw) with an NVIDIA card, HDMI 2.1, HDR works, etc. I have a working VR (Index) setup, a gaming mouse with better customization software (imo) than Windows, etc.
Most of these things had various minor issues even a year ago and now the only thing I can think that is non-standard/requires tinkering is that I'm using beta drivers to have Vulkan support on NVIDIA. This provides a good HDR implementation. Once the Vulkan support is released in the official driver then a user could get all of the same features without ever needing to do anything but update their system and install Steam.
Progress in the Linux gaming space advances every week. Things are approaching perfect, outside of structural issues (such as kernel anticheat). I have 213 games in my Steam library and the only game that I cannot play is Apex: Legends.
Apex runs just fine, but EAC is configured to kick Linux clients if you try to connect to a match. This isn't a Linux issue that can be patched, this is a developer choosing to not allow Linux.
If you haven't tried gaming on Linux in a while, you should give it a shot. I've long since ditched Windows in order to have more free space.
It has support for Linux but developers need to enable it and it won't act as a kernel level anti-cheat like on Windows.
