From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

An eSIM is a code number that is used to identify a phone account, and replaces a SIM card. On my phone I installed an eSIM by scanning a QR code. OP wants to know what's the equivalent in a Linux distro, if there is one. It's a good question, but I don't know the answer myself
This! 😌
Yes, and I'm telling them how. The MODEM is the device that will be the piece of hardware that works or doesn't. eSIM doesn't matter.
I think OP was asking how do they interact with their desktop environment to get the eSIM information to the modem
