Epic Games has confirmed that its new Epic Games Launcher will support SteamOS alongside other Linux distributions including Fedora, CachyOS, and Garuda Linux. The launcher remains in preview as the company moves from AppImage distribution to Debian/Ubuntu .deb packages for broader Linux compatibility.
Background
Epic Games has been expanding its Linux support after years of primarily focusing on Windows gaming. Valve's Steam Deck running SteamOS has driven increased demand for native Linux game launcher support across the ecosystem.
