Apparently they have enough developers to add in crappy emotes and crossovers but not enough to support one of the most popular operating systems.. makes sense

Adding emotes is a different skill set than getting it to run on Linux, but there's plenty of UE5 games on steam deck already so surely it can't be that hard...

adifferent skill set

you're right, given that all it'd take for it to work on Linux would be ticking a box in EAC console, the anticheat software that they develop themselves.
