How vac works on linux?
I want to know because I'm new to this OS, and I am 100% sure I don't want to have a VAC TIME again. Does it work like windows, scanning the active processes for something that could change the game's data?

VAC scans for cheats

No cheats = No vac ban ;)

There doesn't seem to be any proof that a vac client is on linux. An open source public free cheat has been on linux for CSGO for a few months and there have no vac bans. Making an anticheat on linux would be virtually useless

Why would that be useless?

You say you don't want another VAC and then in the next breath you're asking how to exploit the VAC system and if you're doing it right.

I'm not saying I want exploits, I just want to make sure that I don't get banned again for a silly mistake, so I need to know how it works to make sure that there aren't any executing programs that can get me banned

There won't be any "executing programs" that can get you banned if you aren't cheating in the first place.

Who knows? I am completely new to linux, anything can happen on an unkown place... I'm a bit overprotective with this account since I was vac banned, i'know

VAC can only ban you if it finds known cheat signatures.
I use Linux. It does not cause (or prevent) a VAC ban from happening. As long as your account isn't being used for cheating or other purposes, then there is nothing to worry about.
