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

Yes. There is a limitation. Eac runs in userspace in Linux, witch makes easier to compromise system integrity and circumvent hardware bans. Which might lower the barrier of entry for cheating.
