I think most Linux gamers understand they’re not going to get official Linux support. And most of the cases it’s also not necessary because the compatibility layer is pretty good. The only big hurdle is anticheat and that’s where epic would have to do the bare minimum of adding their own native EAC client to Fortnite.
Now the argument that it would increase cheating in a hugely popular game like Fortnite is somewhat legitimate, but I think it’s more likely Sweeney would rather let leopards eat his face than support anything related to Valve.

Also if the typical Linux user is like me they’re never spending a cent on a free game. Which invalidates their whole business model.
