Linux Support?
Will the EA Desktop have a Linux version available? If not will it at least be easier to run under a WINE prefix as Origin had a tendency to break whenever an update occured.

@Wolfsite How many games do you know that are made under Linux? Origin and EA Desktop are gaming platforms. No games - no operating system support.
Много ли вы игр знаете, которые делают под Linux? Origin и EA Desktop - игровые платформы. Нет игр - нед поддержки операционной системы.

I have not seen any announcements regarding other operating systems than Windows. As for how well the Windows version runs on Linux someone will probably have to test it.

Linux is PC. So it should work on my PC right? or do you mean Windows? Because that's a whole other thing.
@Ancorig Steam is capable of running any game thanks to Proton, the platform is native the games may not be.
So far I've been capable of simply pressing play on all games that are not linux compatible on Ubuntu, Pop!_OS and Manjaro on that gaming platform.
Indeed few games are made under Linux but they can run easily, despite then you having no support for issues. But this is something EA doesn't seem to care about (as far as I was able to figure out by searching), it's a complaint that's been around for several years.
The Epic Games Store works fine, via Lutris, and is only officially PC and Mac.
If the future of EA Desktop remains like Origin, then I'd love to be able to unlock Origin bought games on Steam (as they allow from Steam to Origin) just to be able to play them without launch errors, download freezes, interface crashes, or desktop environment crashes.

Я так думаю)Made? No idea. Runs? Out of 360 Games in my Steam library around ~190, with proton enabled probably almost all of them. And with steam deck around the corner hopefully gaming under linux will reach new heights.
