Ok. So I have a decent setup and running Mint because I do not want the hassle of Arch. I know Epic has said several times they won't support us. Whatever, it's lame. But my son has Windows 10 and plays Fortnite and wants to come to Linux. I have no problem with my steam games.

GE Force Now works great for my needs. But he is really into it. I tried a VirtualBox and no go. Heroic, doesn't work. Lutris? Never loads. Fuguna downloaded but wouldn't launch.

Is there any other option besides GE Force Now?

It does. But only through GE Force Now and cloud gaming. It doesn't work as Linux native.

    GE Force Now (and other cloud gaming) is not Linux.

    When playing a game through geforce now it runs on remote servers in NVIDIA’s data centers and is streamed to you as video, with your input sent back to those servers. The game itself is running in a windows VM.

    Right, but you're basically streaming a video and sending your keystrokes to the cloud to be executed remotely. The game itself is running on a Windows VM on a server.
