Not how cheats works if it runs and bypasses on windows it'll likely run on linux and bypass checks there's no difference. If anything probably easier to cheat on windows because how many cheats are specifically designed for windows in mind. If you believe cheating is easier on linux you're just stupid....
Finally someone with a brain in this thread, and you are 100% right about the conclusion. The architecture doesn't work that way though. A Windows cheat won't just run on Linux. Native Linux apps are structured completely differently than Windows apps (ELF vs PE binaries). When you run a Windows game on Linux, you use Steam's Proton that acts as a translator on the fly. It basically translate Windows code to Linux in real time.
Because modern cheats rely on Windows-specific kernel drivers to hook into memory, they break under Proton because ity has no idea how and what to do with a Windows kernel request, it would probably just crash tbh.
