Real talk, Fortnite is the only remaining reason I still dual boot into Windows.

    They won't support Linux unless they have to. As long as people decide to play along with them then they'll continue to not support it. If you give up this game then eventually Linux will be supported.

    In my opinion, every game worth playing supports Linux. There are way too many games that I don't have time to play them, so I'll play the ones that respect their customer's choices. I'll ignore the ones that require us to install malware โ€”whether that's kernel level anti-cheat or Windows.

    AFAIK, Epic hasn't enabled anti cheat to work on Linux. Their own anti cheat has native support for Linux, but they themselves don't want to use it.

    No, the issue is that their anti cheat requires a level of control of your computer that Linux doesn't allow. They could just lower the security, but they instead decided that nobody on Linux could play, apparently thinking that the losses due to cheating would be more than the revenue of 3% more users
