    There are no plans to support Proton or Linux. It’s a vector for cheat developers, and one that would be poorly maintained by both us and EAC due to the low user base. When we stopped support for Linux, we saw more cheat users exploiting Linux, than actual legitimate users.

    When monitoring cheats for Rust, we keep a close eye on wider cheat communities across several major games. We look at what cheat developers are doing, and how other studios are responding.

    From that experience, I’m very comfortable saying that if a game supports Proton or Linux, they’re not serious about anti-cheat. The only exception would be if they have a fully mature, dedicated in-house anti-cheat team, even then, I’m not seeing anyone handle Proton and Linux well.

    Apex Legends also dropped Proton support in October 2024 for the same reasons as we did several years ago.

    Could we limit Proton to Premium servers? yes, but I think it’s total bullshit asking Proton users to buy the game and then $15 worth of DLC. I’d be pissed if I were forced to do that.

    When we stopped supporting Linux, users made up less than .01% of the total player base, even if that number has doubled, or tripled, it’s not worth it.

    I know that every time I post something like this, some Proton and Linux users call us lazy or dismissive. The reality is that fighting cheaters on one front (Windows), is already a never-ending battle. Adding more fronts multiplies that challenge without adding meaningful benefit to the wider player base.








  • So from reading through the comments here.

    I think I have a simple solution that you might want to consider.

    Since you want to connect these 2 PCBA modules to your main board but want to be able to disassemble it when the project is done.

    You can potentially just is female to male jumper wires. Image below as an example, this are the same wires you use on a bread board however one end is a socket that you can connect to the header pins on the 2 modules. The pin end can be soldered to the main PCBA just like you would if it was a through hole component.

    Depending on the conditions the final board will be in (movement or vibration). Just the push in force on the socket ends maybe enough for them not to come loose. Or you might be able to tape them in place.

    If you wanted to go with a header you could possible go with a screw in terminal block similar to this:



  • So I am a little bit confused about what you are asking.

    From my understanding the 2 boards that you included as images are boards that you want to combine together into one single board?

    -if so why do you need the right angle headers?

    If you do need the right angle headers. You just get the foot prints you need and make sure they fit on the board layout. From the edge of the board to solder pads.

    However since they will need to hang over some degree you need to look at the 2d drawing and make sure the right angle header pins are long enough to mate to the matching component on the board.

    If you are sending the board out to be made at a shop you will need to define these features and tolerances in the manufacturing layer that will export as part of the gerber file and possibly provide a 2d drawing.

    As far as I am aware there isn’t a tool to do this in kiCAD you just have to look at the design layout the sizes of the physical parts and decide which part number will meet your requirements.

    Hopefully that makes sense for you. If not I will try and respond. Maybe this reply will help get some more feedback from others.
