From FAQ:

What should I know about Linux support?

The new Epic Games Launcher runs natively on Linux, but many games are Windows-only builds and may need a compatibility layer. Check each game’s Linux compatibility before installing.

We support Ubuntu 22.04 LTS or newer, Fedora 43 or newer, and Debian 12 or newer. Other distributions may work but aren’t officially tested or supported.

Use the Send feedback button in the launcher to report issues.

Also epic is rebuilding Easy Anti-Cheat for Linux (EAC Linux v2) to deliver near-Windows-level protection using signed kernels, Secure Boot, TPM 2.0, and other existing Linux security features starting with a Fortnite, so more multiplayer games can finally support the platform without enabling widespread cheating.

    Lets go!!! Fortnite is the only thing keeping me from switching to linux right now. I was thinking of dualbooting just to play fortnite but once it’s supported I won’t have to.

    I even asked Epic Games support about this two days ago and they had “no details to share at the moment”.

      You can start dualbooting now in order to get used to Linux, find programs that replaces the ones you used in Windows and start the transition to Linux. In worst case fortnite for Linux is delayed and then you have dualbooting until it releases.

        I already use it on my laptop (and Steam Deck) wich I use for school, and pretty much all software I use on windows is FOSS and available on linux or I have already found suitable replacements. Would rather not dualboot as I have read that windows might stop working or locks itself up if done incorrectly. I would rather do a clean switch.

      I hope Epic goes bankrupt before this is complete. We don’t need dumbass CEO’s trying to force kernel anti-cheat into Linux
