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
I wonder if it can install/manage Unreal Engine yet. I don’t see anything mentioning it specifically so I’d presume not.
Doubt it, the official “package” is just the entire folder and you boot the “exe” with a command line prompt and go straight into the editor.
I wonder if its just simply too big for an appimage?
Unity managed to give you a package for its launcher at least.
