Compliance for
Linux & Steam Deck
The first geolocation compliance SDK with native Linux support — including the Steam Deck.
No other geolocation compliance platform currently offers this. Download the agent or contact us to integrate.
The Problem No One Has Solved
Linux users — including millions of Steam Deck owners — are blocked from regulated gaming platforms today because no compliance SDK supports their platform.
No other geolocation compliance platform currently offers native Linux or Steam Deck support. Linux users are blocked entirely — or forced to use Wine workarounds that undermine the integrity of the compliance check itself.

Why Linux Compliance Matters Now
The Linux gaming market is growing faster than any other platform — and regulators don't make exceptions for unsupported operating systems.
Monthly active Linux users on Steam alone, up 52% year over year — the fastest growing desktop gaming platform.
Every major compliance vendor blocks Linux users entirely. There is no alternative — until now.
Legal online casino markets — all requiring geolocation compliance — with more states legalizing every year.
What the Linux Agent Checks
A native agent running on Linux and SteamOS, reporting to the same Peabody compliance API your other platforms already use.
Wi-Fi Geolocation
Scans visible Wi-Fi access points and uses BSSID triangulation for accurate location — the same method used on mobile devices. No GPS hardware required.
VPN & Tunnel Detection
Inspects active network interfaces for VPN tunnels including WireGuard, OpenVPN, ProtonVPN, NordVPN, and custom tun/tap adapters.
Virtual Machine Detection
Detects VirtualBox, VMware, QEMU, KVM, and Wine compatibility layers using DMI system tables and hypervisor CPU flags.
Device Fingerprinting
Generates a stable hardware fingerprint from machine ID, CPU, and network hardware — uniquely identifies a device across sessions without storing personal data.
Steam Deck Native Support
Identifies Steam Deck hardware (Jupiter & Galileo models) and SteamOS. Distributed as a Flatpak for seamless Gaming Mode integration.
Same API, All Platforms
Reports to the same Peabody compliance API as iOS, Android, macOS, and Windows. One integration, one dashboard, every platform.
Packaged for Every Linux Distribution
A single agent, distributed in the format your users expect.
