Ue5 game dev on linux?

now that i have ue5 running on linux, i’d like to progress beyond a stripped down blank game project, but problem:

// cloned ue5-early-access, built per README.md’s linux instructions, ran ./Engine/Binaries/Linux/UnrealEditor and it started up, with warning/error log messages

[2021.05.30-23.20.06:138][  0]LogModuleManager: Warning: ModuleManager: Unable to load module 'TimeManagementEditor'  - 0 instances of that module name found.

[2021.05.30-23.20.19:331][  5]LogSlate: Warning: Slate: Had to block on waiting for a draw buffer

// project browser is now visible, selected a new blank game, (blank game template, blueprint project, desktop target platform, scalable quality preset, now with starter content whereas before i omitted that, no raytracing), with warning/error log messages

[2021.05.30-23.24.09:862][465]LogHAL: Warning: Process (pid=5157) is still running - we will reap it in a waiter thread, but the thread handle is going to be leaked.

[2021.05.30-23.25.07:171][  0]LogModuleManager: Warning: ModuleManager: Unable to load module 'TimeManagementEditor'  - 0 instances of that module name found.

and a ue message box pops up saying

failed to import ‘/home/me/Documents/UnrealEngine/FeaturePacks/StarterContent.upack’. failed to create asset ‘/Game/StarterContent’/. Please see Output Log for details

if i click ok, the project loads with an empty black viewport, with warning/error log messages
