From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm pretty sure it's rather simple for the developer to enable EAC for Linux. (https://www.protondb.com/news/steam-deck-eac-update)
I've noticed a lot more games that I can play now with EAC. I don't know why some devs are dragging their feet on this.
Halo MCC devs complained the port to EAC is harder than Valve claimed but even they went to the effort to enable it.
I have no idea what could hold up other devs to do the same.
