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.

    GOG was worth supporting for that reason ( until their recent little Nazi incident…) but Epic is far worse for the games industry than anything steam has ever done. Holding games hostage exclusive to try and force people to use their shitty platform is much worse than steam saying the steam price has to match the lowest price off-steam…

      You know it’s the devs decision if they want to be exclusive? https://store.epicgames.com/distribution/revenue-programs/epic-first-run-program?lang=en-US

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.
