Epic Games Launcher preview arrives - Native Linux support, Fortnite for Linux is coming and upgrade...

As always, more nuance is inside, but some major bullet points:

• native Linux support for the launcher
• very openly vibe coded, if that’s a line in the sand for you
• Fortnite will be, but is not yet, updated with a new version of Easy Anti Cheat to be compatible with Linux. Yes, there are versions of EAC compatible with Linux today, but not up to Epic’s standards of cheat prevention, and whatever is up to their standards requires coordination with distro maintainers.
• their FAQ openly mentions the necessity of compatibility layers, but I don’t see any mention of native integration with them
