Heroic is so much better and faster than this bloated sluggish POS of so-called software will ever be.

    did they fix their shitty half-ass user-hostile interface yet?

    rhetorical question--i'm not using it either way

    GOG Galaxy is coming, and I would rather install that just to show support

    I know EGS is hated around here but I can't help but feel this is a move in the right direction. Linux seeing more 'mainstream' support will only help solidify it.

    This does amuse me as I recall Tim was not too fond of the idea a few years ago.

    It is and should absolutely be hated. But I agree - it is still a positive. Even if EGS is a cancer, it getting an official Linux port means more corpos are willing to invest into Linux gaming. Which means gaming on Linux will be even more easy and comfortable.

    Yeah, he still hates open source software with all his heart (if he even has one), but he can never pass an opportunity for some more money. Billionaires have no principles, only bank accounts.

    It makes no sense to fight for freedom in a jail. If you want fight for freedom, then support Linux, so you can jailbreak and are no longer locked up with Windows. It's actually more like not moving from where you live (your PC), and vote to install a different OS / government you trust.

    It'll help with engine management. Though I'd say compatibility has gotten worse during 5's lifetime.

    That's fine, but will anti-cheat for the multiplayer games be supported on Linux?

    EAC has had that for years. It's just that it's up to each developer to enable.

    Do Fortnite and Rocket League run on Linux then? AFAIK not. Without them, the Epic Launcher on Linux will be pointless.

    From what I know, Rocket League does maintain Linux support via Proton by allowing it through EAC, but there are hundreds titles on the Epic store, so Linux support for the launcher may allow them to ship native Linux ports.

    Doubt.

    It's been years and Epic Games Store barely supports Windows.

    Accepting "free" games off of Epic would be disrespectful to the 200 unplayed Steam games I already have.
