    Man, I don’t use linux or a steam deck, but that seems like a poor choice in the long run. Seems like more people are using linux for gaming all the time.

      They said that cheating is way more important to battle than the 1% of gamers on Linux. I can see the point. Epic doesn’t exactly stop it. It’s only a matter of time that cheaters get rampant IMO.

      I believe that Linux players just can’t join official servers and they plan to have community servers eventually.

        There are already community servers, but at present you don’t earn XP on them. I believe they’ve said that eventually they will change this, but I don’t know the timeline. As long as they get it done before adding Faceit, I think it’d be a perfectly fine compromise.

        But aren’t there Linux friendly anti cheat systems out there?
