Linux is ‘a terrifically hard audience to serve’

said owner of a company that last tried to oficially support Linux in late '90s.

I mean, they're not really wrong. Even if Epic was able to make Fortnite run on Linux, literally every Linux user is the kind of person to complain about kernel level anti-cheat, despite that being the most effective way for an anti-cheat to operate.

Just look at all the negative sentiment and anger in this thread. Probably all 2% or whatever of the total global Linux Desktop OS users are in this thread complaining about something or other, and most of them probably would never even play/install Fortnite if it was Linux compatible. I don't blame them, really.

Most Linux 'complaints' are bug reports, which helps the devs out.

But yeah no Linux users hurt his feelings so he won't serve them, cause that's what motivates a CEO
