  Apex is listed as Steam Deck Verified. Since Steam Deck and desktop linux use the same compatibility tool, Proton, that means both should be supported.

  Additionally, the last time this happened, Apex unbanned all of the desktop linux users, which is at least a soft-confirmation that it’s supported.

    Not remotely how it works.

      I hope you understand that you’re getting downvoted because your reply is very low-effort that refuses to go into any detail. Therefore, it comes across as malicious, arrogant, and dismissive.

      please explain

        Why use many words, when few shall do?

      You’re pretty misinformed here. EA had to include the EasyAnticheat .so file in their Apex Legends builds to begin with. Otherwise, EAC will not run on Linux, period. This developer opted-in to EasyAnticheat running, and has continued to opt-in to this.

      This isn’t Valve “tacking on” support, the presence of that file is an explicit “we’re permitting this to work” (even if they don’t “officially” consider it supported).

      If they want money from from Linux users then they need to do better. If they don’t then offer out refunds.

        They don’t want money from linux users. They never wanted money from linux users (to my knowledge).

        If you buy a bunch of apple peripherals and then switch to linux, you don’t get a refund from the apple store.
