Lets go!!! Fortnite is the only thing keeping me from switching to linux right now. I was thinking of dualbooting just to play fortnite but once it's supported I won't have to.
I even asked Epic Games support about this two days ago and they had "no details to share at the moment".
You can start dualbooting now in order to get used to Linux, find programs that replaces the ones you used in Windows and start the transition to Linux. In worst case fortnite for Linux is delayed and then you have dualbooting until it releases.
I already use it on my laptop (and Steam Deck) wich I use for school, and pretty much all software I use on windows is FOSS and available on linux or I have already found suitable replacements. Would rather not dualboot as I have read that windows might stop working or locks itself up if done incorrectly. I would rather do a clean switch.
