Top comment on the article:

This is false and Eurogamer covered it already. You cannot run both at the same time, but both can be installed. The Valorant anti-cheat just cannot be active (it can be turned off at any time if it is running and requires a reboot before the game can be played if disabled).

Honestly that's not much better. I shouldn't be expected to reboot my computer to play a game.

As a linux gamer, I agree…

As far as I understand it, you'd need to reboot only if you 1. Had Valorant running 2. Stopped Valorant's anticheat manually 3. Want to play Valorant again afterwards.

It's still stupid, yeah. But workarounds are usually that
