This is so funny because rust has one of the worst cheating situations and majority of their players are windows users, and theres lots of games that have anticheat that allows linux and have notably less significant cheating problems like marvel rivals. in reality rust doesn't take cheating very seriously because if they did they would have more server side software that detects illegitimate behaviour like tons of other games do successfully...... even most popular Minecraft servers have better functioning anti cheat that is completely server side than rust has while getting kernel access to your pc. its pathetic and lazy development tbh and this entire post from them reads like such extreme cope....
I'd say rust is a great game with the worst community and therefore riddled with cheaters and unplayable.
I think the game is pretty fun, but it heavily relies on the people who play it. To me it's impossible to play. Rust players are usually 15 hours a day online. If you play on eu servers, good luck playing against mostly russians who have nothing going on in their lives than being assholes online.
I haven't played in years but even then running your own server was the way to go
