1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    It's a single flag in the anticheat

    Fortnite uses both BattleEye and EAC, so it's at least multiple clicks, depending on the implementation even more.

    And making a linux version

    And bug testing it vs every other version

    They don't have to make a Linux version. Wine is a program that allows you to run windows programs on Linux. The reason it doesn't work with fortnite is because fortnite anticheat blocks it. In order to let Linux users (including steam decks) play fortnite, they just have to change an anticheat setting not to block Wine. Fortnite uses battleye and eac, both of which have wine support

    And what happens if Wine Fortnite doesn’t work as expected?

    Wine isnt a good system for official support

    They don't have to support it, but it wouldn't kill them to stop actively inhibiting it

    You’re missing the point on “works as expected “

    It not working can impact other platforms

    Eh theoretically? But if that's the case, it's kind of a flaw in their backend. If a buggy client can cause issues, anyone can cause issues at will
