From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I know that Resident Evil games come with Denuvo, for example.

You've linked to their anti cheat which they also offer but it's not their main product. Funny that you missed that, given that you were already on their web site and https://irdeto.com/denuvo/ spells out "Anti-Piracy technology" in huge font:

There are games with single player and multiplayer modes that come with anti cheat. I had some game a few months ago that was a Steam freebie (can't remember the name) whose anti cheat didn't install properly on Windows and it didn't allow me to launch regular single player, only mod mode.
