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.
I'm playing Apex Legends on Linux for about a year, but 31 october it just stopped working with a message "Apex client failed an anti-cheat backend check". Of course I don't use any cheats. I've tried different versions of Proton but with no success.
Linux was never offically supported by the game. It only worked because Steam's Steam Deck used Linux to run.
Now both Linux, and Steam Decks using Linux, can no longer play the game.
