Linux Support
It would be really nice if the EA App officially supported Linux as Linux gaming is getting more popular. I would also love to play EA games easily on Linux. Thank you!
Right here rooting with ya! 🙂 Just package it in a flatpak and snap and you'd cover about every distribution.
I mean, on the analytics usa gov website you can see how much Desktop Linux is rising in market share recently. 4.5% last calendar year to 5.6% now, and that's even without Chrome OS included else we'd be talking 7.7%
Even only about 6 years ago we were at 2% so we're talking some serious numbers of gamers here not able to play properly.
Can't imagine that at some point a company like EA wants to lose sales by not supporting a platform.
I use Bazzite, so an official EA app Flatpak would be amazing! It would let me fully switch from Windows!
However, one major issue (that I can think of at least) is how will the games be able to run? Making a native Linux version for the games sounds like a massive, difficult process. I guess they could have something similar to Proton.
(I'm still somewhat new to how Linux gaming works, so I'm sorry if I get things wrong)
