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?

Create a windows to go install on a USB to NVMe caddy, use something like nano11 and set the BIOS to boot off the NVMe. Whenever the kiddo wants to play fortnite, just plug the device and reboot

This is to avoid windows overwriting your EFI partition and nuking your bootloader at random times, the reason I stopped dual booting after win 8.1

    I have never done this. Do you have a good source for a guide or walkthrough to look over before I attempt it?

    Sorry, I jumped ship before that feature was a thing. I think it's exclusive to "pro" win10 but I remember a relative using it. Windows 2 go or something like that was the name.

    Anyway, happy new year, and hope you can figure it out!
