The problem lies in Epic's EAC and that they see no potential on making it work on Linux. They said they supported Linux and did fund for the project, but not much actions has been seen. And recent year, someone in Epic even called Linux is a cheat. I doubt this situation, and EPIC bias, has moved forward.
Using Linux / Virtual Machine with EAC games can potentially get you banned by EAC, as my understand goes currently, but while cheaters in Windows that has not yet been caught are not easily picked up by the EAC's bot.
There was a time when WINE can run Apex Legends, however, EPIC changed something in EAC that break WINE and the situation are left as it is now.
Someone in Reddit did clam that they can run the game on Linux, but it is not official, and anyone try to run it on other platforms run at their own risk. I do hope the game can run on my Linux rig one day, but I am not highly optimistic on this happening in the nearby future due to those stated reasons above.
Just search in EA Help for "Linux" and you will see this native / Linux support demand has been going on for ages (and it has been demanded in many games - however, same answers has been given throught out for about 10 years: "there is no support on Linux at this moment") and the situation has not seen going forward.
Just to let EA know that, I will not go backward to PC Platform Windows but move forward to PC Platform Linux for gaming. Do whatever you like in Windows PC, YOU WILL NOT GET MY MONEY unless the games I wanted can run on Linux PC.
And Linux users has already said enough for many many years, they should have enough resources and materials to start making EA games on Linux working if they ever wanted to (I might be wrong, but I heard Apex Legends developers did have Linux in mind when they started). Their ignorance for this length of time is already a big NO for native EA Games support on Linux PC.
