This was a big issue ~5 months ago, and they ended up unbanning all of the linux players (I know reddit sucks, I’m sorry, but it’s currently the best source of info I could find): https://www.reddit.com/r/apexlegends/comments/11gaefo/ea_is_falsely_massbanning_steam_deck_and_linux/

However, three reports from this morning (including myself) just rolled in, as well as a few others from the past month (check recent replies): https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Linux-players-getting-banned/td-p/12338557

One of the banned players from this morning was also banned (then unbanned) when this was an issue 4-5 months ago.

          I’m not sure how you’re not understanding plain English. It’s advertised via spam. Spam bad. Therefore game that advertised by spam bad.

            How is it advertised by spam? Literally never seen an ad for this game.

              Clearly that means it didn’t happen, because if it isn’t in your singular experience it can’t possibly exist.
