No, the issue is that their anti cheat requires a level of control of your computer that Linux doesn’t allow. They could just lower the security, but they instead decided that nobody on Linux could play, apparently thinking that the losses due to cheating would be more than the revenue of 3% more users
And this is precisely why I won’t bother with the game, they made a conscious choice to exclude Linux when not doing that costs them practically nothing

AFAIK, Epic hasn’t enabled anti cheat to work on Linux. Their own anti cheat has native support for Linux, but they themselves don’t want to use it.
