Ok. So I have a decent setup and running Mint because I do not want the hassle of Arch. I know Epic has said several times they won’t support us. Whatever, it’s lame. But my son has Windows 10 and plays Fortnite and wants to come to Linux. I have no problem with my steam games.

GE Force Now works great for my needs. But he is really into it. I tried a VirtualBox and no go. Heroic, doesn’t work. Lutris? Never loads. Fuguna downloaded but wouldn’t launch.

Is there any other option besides GE Force Now?

      Infected with kernel level anticheat

      I like that they don’t bother being gentle about it. I’d have gone further and called the publishers drooling idiots but lutris probably can’t get away with that lol

        I guess the site could have been more clear about it, so let me help you read it:

        unsupported on Linux

        Will this work on Linux? No, it won’t.

          It does. But only through GE Force Now and cloud gaming. It doesn’t work as Linux native.

            GE Force Now (and other cloud gaming) is not Linux.

            When playing a game through geforce now it runs on remote servers in NVIDIA’s data centers and is streamed to you as video, with your input sent back to those servers. The game itself is running in a windows VM.
