Running Fortnite on Arch Linux
Hello, i just bought a Gaming Laptop (Lenovo Legion Pro 5) which had Windows 11 installed, i personally don't like Windows 11 so i now successfully installed Archlinux with KDE Plasma Xorg. I then downloaded heroic games launcher and wanted to install Fortnite, i then noticed an anticheat popup error and i was woindering, if there is a way for me to still install it and get it running, maybe with some parameters? I would appriciate any help.
If it won't work under any circumstances, i probably need to make a windows vm or dual boot, but i wont switch back to windows and replace my arch install just to play fortnite, i spent a good chuck of money in fortnite so i like to continue playing it.

it doesn't run, there's nothing to do
only option on linux is to use a streaming service like geforce now or xbox cloud
a vm won't work either
