    not support Linux with Fortnite despite only needing to click a single checkbox

    I’d love to see that, because my understanding is that the anticheat software that fortnite and others use requires pretty deep access to your system that linux either can’t or won’t give them

      Yes they use kernel level anticheat and they are correct it would be easier to cheat on Linux.

        any idea where commentOP got their notion that supporting linux would involve “only needing to click a single checkbox”?

          EAC does support Linux and can be enabled. It just isn’t as secure.

          Other posts about this topic have similar claims. No idea who started the idea, but it gets mentioned a lot that ticking a box is all that’s required
