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?

I have been using battlenet for a couple of years now without account issues. Blizzard has been pretty decent towards Linux users in the past, even fixing issues that broke functionality in wine (there is an example of this on the blizz forums somewhere). Can't speak for the rest of the launchers since I do not use them.
