Lumen and Nanite in UE5 On Linux

I’ve been daily driving Arch for some time now (I switched from Ubuntu) and haven’t had any issues with development. However, there are a few small gotchas. For instance, the plugin marketplace isn’t supported on Linux, which makes obtaining marketplace content a real pain. To get around this, you need to run the launcher using Wine or a virtual machine, install an engine through the launcher, and then use it to install any plugins. After that, you have to manually copy those files over to your Linux system. This is my main issue, it’s incredibly frustrating and time-consuming.
