building the kernel and then making the EAC kernel module blind

If I'm not mistaken, user space (and kernel ring) code can ask the kernel if it's in lockdown mode which makes sure that no non-signed module is loaded and ask for the sign key. The same utilities that are available for the would-be cheat developers are also available to the EAC module. It's costly? Yes. It's doable? Also yes. So, for now is just a chicken game, if many people buy the steam deck and those people ask why is their device not supported, the Epic would have to invest in developing.

What I hope is that they don't invest 0 until that time arrives (which would arrive).

Quoting: TheSHEEEPThis looks like a better Q4Wine.

This is not alternative to q4wine. With q4wine you can use your system Wine, with Bottles you cannot and this by design.

But you can. Search in the list of wine for sys-wine.

Better read docs and check which runners supported https://docs.usebottles.com/components/runners#types-of-runners [External Link].
Q4Wine is wrapper around your system/host wine, basically GUI for it with some tools and helpers which help you configure your system/host wine provided by your distribution or any other 3d-party wine build.

Bottles is designed around their own, custom pre-built versions of Wine with own ecosystem, tools and such and intended to work only with them.

And yet it is the only "runner" I use.

Quoting: Guest413 games on Steam (link [External Link]) make use of Epic Online Services and don't require an Epic Games account.

Seems that the EOS is for several stuff, not only EAC. And it seems that that stuff is mostly working correctly with Wine. Also, there's a separated list for EAC https://steamdb.info/tech/AntiCheat/EasyAntiCheat/ [External Link]
