Ubuntu 26.4 steam apps hate EA DRM

The EA game launcher fails to load on my new Ubuntu 26.04 linux running steam. All of my other steam games run just fine under Steam's Proton emulator, but the EA launcher games choke.

Why do we need TWO (2) DRM checker systems. Steam already verifies that I bought the game?

The EXTRA COMPLEXITY of adding the EA launcher just causes more things to break.

Please remove this bloatware now!

This is likely a basic compatibility issue. On PC, you need Windows 10/11 and on Mac, macOS Catalina or newer.

Who can download the EA app?

The EA app for Windows is available to all players on a (minimum) 64-bit PC system, running Windows 10, and 11. The EA app for Mac is available to players on macOS Catalina or newer.
