the ones I've tried yes, it depends on the developers, for example Fortnite is not supported on Linux because they deliberately made it incompatible.

Doesn't Fortnite use EAC instead?

It uses both, and switches between the two

I can find only mentions of EAC.

Also apex legends and Rust use it, EAC it's not the reason.

P1: "They are using malware anti-cheat that does not support Linux"

P2: "No, they choose to not support Linux"

P2: "It's not the reason"
