From personal experience...
its technically possible to spoof a vm to run it.
Real talk, Fortnite is the only remaining reason I still dual boot into Windows.
They won't support Linux unless they have to. As long as people decide to play along with them then they'll continue to not support it. If you give up this game then eventually Linux will be supported.
In my opinion, every game worth playing supports Linux. There are way too many games that I don't have time to play them, so I'll play the ones that respect their customer's choices. I'll ignore the ones that require us to install malware —whether that's kernel level anti-cheat or Windows.
i haven't tried this but couldn't you use herioc ganes launcher? as sketeched out here https://www.aeanet.org/how-to-download-fortnite-on-steam-deck/#Step-by-Step_Guide_Downloading_and_Installing_Fortnite
AFAIK, Epic hasn't enabled anti cheat to work on Linux. Their own anti cheat has native support for Linux, but they themselves don't want to use it.
And this is precisely why I won't bother with the game, they made a conscious choice to exclude Linux when not doing that costs them practically nothing
No, the issue is that their anti cheat requires a level of control of your computer that Linux doesn't allow. They could just lower the security, but they instead decided that nobody on Linux could play, apparently thinking that the losses due to cheating would be more than the revenue of 3% more users
I'm surprised I don't see more discussion here of Apex Legends and how it had Linux support removed!
Just play on your phone...
minecraft bedrock was the only reason i am dual booting windows but thankfilly thanks to a blessing from a god, i wont be needing it for long
You can play the android version in desktop mode with the Unofficial *nix Launcher.
You can also play the Android release fine with Waydroid.
