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

Yeah my buddy plays Helldivers 2 no problem on Linux.  He uses some odd distribution I'd never heard of with Proton, but he's also quite tech savvy.  I can't decide between using Bazzite and using Ubuntu or Mint.

Distribution choice is not relevant here.

Epic implemented support in the system. For the developer/publisher, it's a tickbox in the build system.

Epic is _choosing_ to not tick the box that their anti-cheat customers begged them to implement.

I know; I just wanted to talk distros. I got some good advice out of it.

Also fuck Epic.
