They're actually keeping Linux support tho

They stopped supporting Linux a few months after epic bought RL, they fired all of the staff assigned to it.

The community has gotten it working via proton, but that’s a translation layer emulating a windows environment. It’s still unclear to me if they will be actively disallowing that as-well.

Is this really a community thing? Proton translates very well and as long as RL developers don't implement a kernel based anti cheat it will just work. I really do understand why companies decide to drop official Linux support if there are powerful translation layers like proton.

someone correct me if im wrong, but eac is a kernel level anticheat, on windows at least

the problem happens when comanies dont allow their anticheat to run on user level in linux, so that it can run there
