The Epic Games Store launcher is to run natively on Linux. There is no date, and Linux is not yet included in the preview of the new client.

    This will never make it onto my system. GOG, Epic they can all get lost with their proprietary garbage launchers. Steam is the only one I will tolerate, because well it is Steam so not much of a choice there.

      What will you do if Steam ever turns to shit? We need a diverse ecology of services, to keep then in check.

        This is the correct take. Buying from one store creates a monopoly and that benefits no-one except that monopolists.

      GOG? They’re objectively more in line with Linux ideals then Steam will ever be, considering GOG games are 100% usable without the launcher and they didnt pioneer micro transactions

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
