The only thing stopping Fortnite from running on Linux is the anticheat. The anticheat it uses it made by Epic, and has a specific option for WINE compatibility.

If I remember correctly it actually uses two separate anti-cheat, and the second one not made by Epic doesn't have Linux or Wine support.

But it's still a weak excuse that they could just make a Linux version without that redundant second anti-cheat.

Unless they changed it, the other one is Battle eye which also has Linux support
