    While this is peripherally interesting to hear, without Linux support [1][2], I am not personally interested.

        Nope. No way there because of their anti cheat solution. Sorry.

        Thank you for noticing 😊. I do my best to not engage in conjecture: If I make any claim, I try to make sure that I cite it. The same sort of thing goes for anything derived from logic — ie I do my best to describe my thought processes to make sure that I reduce the possibility of incorrect assumptions being made on anything that I post. It’s a little bit tedious at times, but I think it’s important.

      Damn shame Linux is so unfriendly to anti cheats. So many people would switch if their games actually ran, including I.

        other way around, anticheats are unfriendly to linux. they violate the security model of the system, and they don’t even have to.

        epic’s anticheat even has a working Linux version that you can enable with a toggle in the management interface. devs just don’t do it. this includes epic.

          But it only works in user mode. That’s why some cheats are FOSS on Linux.

          !Let’s hope that there will be some cheat that allows Fortnite to function on Linux.!<

        What about Linux do you think is “unfriendly to anti cheats”?
