This was a big issue ~5 months ago, and they ended up unbanning all of the linux players (I know reddit sucks, I’m sorry, but it’s currently the best source of info I could find): reddit.com/…/ea_is_falsely_massbanning_steam_deck…
However, three reports from this morning (including myself) just rolled in, as well as a few others from the past month (check recent replies): answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/…/12338557
One of the banned players from this morning was also banned (then unbanned) when this was an issue 4-5 months ago.

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.

“Unsupported” (or “your mileage may vary” as you out it) means it lacks support. As in, if you try to contact support they are totally in their right to answer “sorry, this platform is unsupported, you’re on your own” if something doesn’t work or is buggy.
“Unsupported” does not mean that it’s a van able offense.
Given that, let me ask you: why do you think trying to run software on an unsupported platform without malicious intent should be banned, as you seem to imply?
