Epic Games has confirmed that its launcher will officially support SteamOS, the Linux-based operating system used by Steam Deck and Steam Machines. The company's communications director, Jake Jones, stated that they plan to support as many Linux distributions as possible, including Fedora, SteamOS, CachyOS, Omarchy, and more. The new launcher is currently in preview and is being tested and evaluated for various packaging formats. However, Fortnite's compatibility with Steam Deck is still pending due to ongoing work on Linux anti-cheat compatibility.
