Quoting: DerRiddaThere is no magic happening with Squad.
Squad works because the EAC CDN explicitly contains a wine64 binary for that game.
Yes, EAC detects that it is running in Wine and attempts to download the appropriate binary.
If the developers didn't "tick the box" for that it is likely that EAC will not work in the future with B4B.

Where does this information actually comes from ?

I have never seen anyone officially confirm this.

Squad uses EAC too, but it works with Proton too and has been working for while now.

So why would you assume that it will not continue to work for this game ?

I've been using Linux Mint for a lot of years now, but as a user and author of a popular extension for Cinnamon, I must say, that I'm not a Linux Mint fan anymore, I basically just use it because I don't know what else to use.

It's hard to point out what exactly it is, but I think the developers lost focus, regarding trying to create a good Linux desktop experience for average Joe (new or beginner).

There is the "war" with Canonical and I simple don't understand why they spend time developing useless applications, like the Warpinator or their IPTV application which no one needs or asked for.

I think Linux desktop distros should focus the coming time on making Windows games run flawlessly and also continue to make improvement to the overall Linux desktop for enterprises (e.g. a little thing like the change Canonical did to the installer, so you can now domain join upon installation, means a whole lot regarding that).

Here are my wishes for Linux Mint:

1. Support the fantastic work regarding Wine.
2. A true real alternative to Microsoft Office.
3. Better interoperability with Windows environments.
4. Better Cinnamon development experience and documentation.

Kinda works with EAC.
