I'm sad as this series is one of my favorites from my childhood and I was so excited to see where things went.

I don't have any windows anymore and don't plan on dual booting just to play.

I hope that they will turn on the battle eye proton support but who knows.

I hear that but battleye has native Linux support for quite some time. It's up to devs to turn on support or not so that doesn't make too much sense.

also since most of the anti-cheat methods they are implementing are server side rather than client side, so again, doesn't make too much sense to me.

Thanks for the link, didn't know they now support Linux.
