Epic Games have announced their brand new Epic Games Launcher refresh has a Preview available, along with Native Linux support and Fortnite is coming to Linux.

I must admit - I am thoroughly shocked that not only are they doing it, but they’re actually going all the way to get their main game of Fortnite with upgraded Easy Anti-Cheat running on Linux too. Although, they’re going all-in with AI, and even mentioned the new app has been “vibe coded”.

I mean it’s Linux gaming support even if it is Epic but that AI comment, yeah…

    If Fortnite finds success with an anticheat on Linux, there’s a good chance that other major players will follow suit.

    No, that’s a fucking problem. Proliferation of intrusive anticheat on any OS is a bad thing.

    The #1 reason to not switch to Linux I have seen from gamers is that they can’t play multiplayer games that require anticheat

    Then let them suffer with Microslop until they get some self respect
