Steam OS

Linux based game OS compatible with Steam only. Locked to the Valveverse.

What a weird thing to lie about on the home page of your company.

Not that I would, because it's trash, but you can install Epic Games Launcher on your steam deck.

Fortnite still doesn’t work due to anti cheat which is probably what some people are looking for.

Fortnite works (confirmed in beta), both anticheats it uses work, Epic just needs to enable Linux support in the EAC dashboard and ship the library to get EAC to work, and for BattlEYE all that is required is an email. They just don't care about us.
