Has anyone gotten a game or account ban using Linux with Lutris or Heroic Games Launcher? (self.linux_gaming)

I built a PC for the family yesterday, and I'm hoping to get away with going 100% Linux. What makes me a little nervous is that Epic Games, GOG, battle.net, EA store, etc don't officially support Linux. If I try using Lutris, or Heroic Games Launcher, or something similar to use those platforms, is there a chance my account will get banned? I've seen some stories about people getting banned from Apex Legends using Linux, but since I don't play that one I'm not too concerned about it.

Has anyone had a bad experience?

Been playing sc2 on Linux for 8 months. They won't ban obvious and known cheaters, I'm not worried about playing in Linux.
