Linux / Proton / Steam Deck policy
Valve builds VAC for Linux and Steam Deck itself, so it runs natively. Games with VAC usually work on Linux if the game does.
Execution level
User-space
User-space only. No kernel driver.
System requirements
- None beyond the game's own requirements
Proton / Wine module
Native Linux support
Works natively on Linux and under Proton. No separate module needed.
