From FAQ:
What should I know about Linux support?
The new Epic Games Launcher runs natively on Linux, but many games are Windows-only builds and may need a compatibility layer. Check each game’s Linux compatibility before installing.
We support Ubuntu 22.04 LTS or newer, Fedora 43 or newer, and Debian 12 or newer. Other distributions may work but aren’t officially tested or supported.

Also epic is rebuilding Easy Anti-Cheat for Linux (EAC Linux v2) to deliver near-Windows-level protection using signed kernels, Secure Boot, TPM 2.0, and other existing Linux security features starting with a Fortnite, so more multiplayer games can finally support the platform without enabling widespread cheating.
I would actually rather dual boot to windows (on an entirely separate drive, fuck windows trying to mess up my drive) than boot Linux with an untrusted kernel that gives epic root access to my system with all my important stuff on it.
It doesn't sound like they are shipping the kernel, only that your kernel must be signed with well known keys which I assume the supported distros are? Still not keen on it personally and wouldn't run the anti cheat myself but at least it's user space.
