Linux is all good if you only play singleplayer games. My friends started playing the finals yesterday and it doesn't run on linux because of EAC. Windows can run all my games without any proton switching and all the nvidia features like ray reconstruction and pathtracing with frame generation just works (alan wake 2 looks so good).

Precision guesswork here, but probably because it's serverside.

I guess I didn't even think about the possibility that the servers are also running on Windows. Who does that? Ew.

No... They meant that the way EAC works is configured from the game's developper end. Just like how you can't mod your equipment in MMOs because your data is being stored on the game's server
