@Cubuss Hey there, EA nor Respawn have ever supported linux. This operating system is not used for apex. The only reason it had seen updates is due to steam decks default operating system coming as linux. Now that they can have windows put on them there is no need for linux anymore.
So when you see updates be made it was purely for the steam deck and nothing more. It was not to support that operating system in general but to support steam decks operating system at that time.

@E9ine_AC
They literately stated that the reason they discontinue support for linux is cause of the cheaters and not cause of the steamdeck having the ability to install windows now,
It has nothing to do with steamdeck

@Cubuss Actually they don't support linux at all. Nor have they ever. What they have supported is the operating system at the time steam decks ran on. So that theory is wrong. The support was for steam decks not linux's operating system. Which was never was supposed to be used in the first place with apex.
Keep in mind since the games launch when you go to any website or game provider and look up the games specs since day 1 of apexs launch its always stated and only stated Windows operating system. If they supported linux in any form then the operating system would of been added to all those sites/launchers list of supported OS.
If they didnt "support" linux operating systems why did they have a trello tracker to resolve issues on linux? this sure seem to me they were "supporting" it
- @Cubuss Again this is purely to do with steam decks. Not linux in general. Had there been no steam deck there would of been no update at all for that. But, because steam deck at the time could only run Linux its what was used due to that. You will not find 1 single shred of evidence online supporting EA or Respawn openly stating they support linux.
What you will find in apexs 5 years of existence is 1 single trello post that specifically states steam deck and people are reaching for stars because it has the word linux in it. Ignoring the main factor Steam Deck. lol
That's just a cop out. There are way more cheaters on windows, and you can just spectate after you die and tell if someone's on pc and whether they are cheating. Steam deck has the smallest share of players. Banning the smallest group of players and labeling them all cheaters doesn't magically fix the cheating issue.
