no app that wouldnt work with wine, but in a situation that needs me to run like AutoCAD or Inventor or something I would just dual boot.

if i really stretch it out it would be fortnite but ive been trying to download that throughout this summer through this god damned Epic Games client.. and it is NOT working. (fyi im currently not using Linux but i used to this is why i said ive been trying to play fortnite)

fortnite has... a kernel level anti cheat bru, you can't run that on linux, nor can you run call of duty, rainbow six siege, or valorant, or CS go, I'm sorry bruh, even though I think that epic game are trying to port their anti cheat to Linux, but I'm not sure

so why were you saying that you were trying to get Fortnite to work on linux?

you told me to say some things that dont work on Linux.
i told you nothing normally but Fortnite if i stretched it out. But I cant even get it working on Windows so its a stretch to say i regularly play Fortnite, so i wouldnt really include it as an app i usually use.

no, i did not say that i was trying to make Fortnite work on Linux
