Linux gaming has grown significantly over the past decade due to Proton, the Steam Deck, and improvements to graphics drivers and anti-cheat support. Unreal Engine already supports Linux development, and Easy Anti-Cheat has Linux compatibility. Adding Linux support for UEFN would lower the barrier for creators who already use Linux for tools like Blender, Godot, and other content creation software. While supporting another platform has an ongoing maintenance cost, the technical foundation is much stronger than it was several years ago, making Linux support a more realistic investment as the platform continues to grow. Epic Games, In my opinion, should seriously consider linux support. It’s more than likely a solid long term investment.
