From FAQ:

What should I know about Linux support?

The new Epic Games Launcher runs natively on Linux, but many games are Windows-only builds and may need a compatibility layer. Check each game’s Linux compatibility before installing.

We support Ubuntu 22.04 LTS or newer, Fedora 43 or newer, and Debian 12 or newer. Other distributions may work but aren’t officially tested or supported.

Use the Send feedback button in the launcher to report issues.

Also epic is rebuilding Easy Anti-Cheat for Linux (EAC Linux v2) to deliver near-Windows-level protection using signed kernels, Secure Boot, TPM 2.0, and other existing Linux security features starting with a Fortnite, so more multiplayer games can finally support the platform without enabling widespread cheating.

      Checking if you run the default kernel is way better than shipping rootkit to everyone.

      It’s almost too good to be true.

      Cuck coding an anti-cheat should be interesting. I wonder how many “you are right to push back, I left a giant vulnerability open that can be exploited by fornight, let me fix that for you” they will come across.

      It may not be your thing, but I believe this is a good thing. Some people don’t make the switch to Linux at all because they can’t play games with kernel-level anticheat. At the very least, anyone who may dual boot Linux and Windows can now boot Linux and their anticheat kernel Linux. Hopefully other Windows-only games will follow.

        Then they should suffer with Microslop until they get some self-esteem and better taste in games

        I use Linux on everything but my main desktop (Laptop, Project Server, web server, some Rpis), primarily because I like Fortnite.

        So I am looking forward to this.

        I am going to play Fortnite anyway, which means anti cheat etc anyway, I would love to have it in Linux instead of Windows.
