CS:GO works fine in a libvirt/KVM VM last I checked. As for Tarkov, see: https://mobile.twitter.com/TheBattlEye/status/12890276721867...

Note that the game vendor selects what features they want to apply to their titles that are available. BattlEye allows you to stop people using VMs, if the game vendor opts in to this stupid feature.

Does running CS:GO in a VM impact trust factor? Trust and prime are pretty much the only thing to reduce cheaters encountered in your matches since CS:GO does not have a working anti-cheat.

Doesn’t CS:GO run on Linux? I exclusively play dota 2 on Linux and it performs better than in Windows imo.

it does, but you can only play matchmaking AFAIK, ESEA and FaceIT don't support linux for their anti-cheats.

Interesting, I didn't even know you had external parties providing league based (I'm guessing) match making. All matches in Dota 2 run through the official valve coordinator or are pre-made lobbies. There is a LAN only build iirc, but not widely available to the public.

Likely. There were some hacks in the last year or so that required looking glass.
