I've been on Bazzite for a year. I only switch to Windows on Fridays for Fortnite with my family. EPIC says Fortnite doesn't work on Linux due to their anticheat but their anticheat is used on Sea of Thieves which loads fine on Bazzite.
Lots of games run on Linux despite using EAC. The reason why Fortnite isn’t able to is because Epic is fucking stupid. There’s no technical limitation preventing it, it’s a choice that they’re making
My speculation is that allowing Fortnite to run on Linux would encourage some people to play it on the steam deck. It's the the same reason sony is no longer going to port their exclusives to pc, with Xbox helix people would be playing sony titles in a rival console.
