No, Fortnite does not work on Linux as of update v42.30 (Fortnitemares 2026 update.) All of the FNAF games and 99 Nights in the Forest (via Sober) do work on Linux.
I can understand why Riot would keep the CPU blacklisted, but having every bit of your hardware banned just for buying a used CPU is very shitty of them, especially in a time where buying new hardware is more expensive than ever.
Anon buys a used CPU, Ryzen 7 5800X3D, and then finds out that “Valorant” and other Riot games won’t start, because the previous owner of the CPU was a cheater, thus the CPU ID/serial number got blacklisted in their system ☠️
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Riot hardware bans last a maximum of 4 months, are game-specific, and do not automatically blacklist unrelated components, per Riot's head of anticheat; support provides remaining time and allows review requests in most cases. x.com/deteccphilippe… support.riotgames.com/league-of-lege… support.riotgames.com/en-us/riot/per…
I have been told in the replies that the post I quoted is likely misinformation. Please take it with a grain of salt.

Throughout the past few days, Minecraft Dungeons II has had a rocky launch on Linux with the game refusing to start up using Proton. The team have since stated that they are aware of the issue and are planning on fixing it.
COPILOT OS IS REAL LMFAO
We’re building Copilot as a new OS for work that spans every model, every form factor, and every task. Today, we’re announcing our biggest update to Copilot to date, bringing four things together:
· Autopilot: proactive and long-running agent built for the enterprise
· Code: build apps with Copilot, hosted inside your company’s tenant
· Home: Chat + Cowork together
· Office: now fully embedded in Copilot (and Copilot embedded in Office, of course!)
Plus, you can invoke Copilot in Teams, and we’re introducing Today, a proactive experience that surfaces the most important information from across M365 without needing to ask for it.
The way we work is changing and so are our workflows. This update brings AI into that flow, from answering a question, to building an app, to getting work done on your behalf.
Discord has recently added age verification to all regions (even those where it's not legally required) and sarcastically mocked those against it. Because of this, many artists have expressed their frustration by posting graphic artwork for Wumpus, many of which I've seen lately.

Thank goodness we have kernel anticheat to stop all cheaters
This quoted post is unavailable.
It has been about a couple weeks since the game came out and they seemed to have changed their stance since my post. The game does not currently work on Linux but the developers have stated that they will work on adding support.
