I've tried running fortnite on Linux . It installed fine started to play and then I get booted out because of the anti cheat . I believe the game would run fine if the anti cheat supported Linux .

That's the fun part, the anti cheat does support Linux. Apex Legends also uses easyanticheat and it's compatible with the Steam Deck, with a Gold rating on protondb.

Yeah. Fortnite's implementation of EAC literally sabotages itself on Linux mainly because Tim Sweeney doesn't want it to run on Linux

That's even more annoying because the game will run . It just boots you out before you touch the ground. I was thinking about playing it again lately but I can't build with controller like I can with a keyboard and mouse.
