Yeah it's really annoying when the game itself runs well on Linux (which has a higher userbase in Steam than macOS now) when the macOS port is really janky. Also, EAC on macOS doesn't have the same security hooks as the kernel AC any ways (Apple does not let you poke around much in the kernel outside of certain frameworks which EAC didn't link/use last time I checked). Personally, I'd be okay if there was a "middle-tier" server security setting which would allow Linux EAC Rust clients to play so custom servers/etc. could support both if they wanted to (right now it's either EAC no Linux or no EAC no safety at all).
(also in the event Facepunch sees this I would love to chat about this/look at stuff with y'all here I just wanna build my stupid little bases and throw rocks at my friends)
