As always, more nuance is inside, but some major bullet points:
- native Linux support for the launcher
- very openly vibe coded, if that’s a line in the sand for you
- Fortnite will be, but is not yet, updated with a new version of Easy Anti Cheat to be compatible with Linux. Yes, there are versions of EAC compatible with Linux today, but not up to Epic’s standards of cheat prevention, and whatever is up to their standards requires coordination with distro maintainers.
- their FAQ openly mentions the necessity of compatibility layers, but I don’t see any mention of native integration with them
Kernel Level Anti Cheat does not work on Linux, they have to do it otherwise.
They are using Kernel integrated functionality. So its a Kernel Level Anti Cheat, isn’t it? The difference is, that they use integrated functionality and do not have root rights on the system, if I understand correctly.
