I won't support any store that sabotages Linux on purpose. Just earlier today I read a lame excuse for them to not support Linux with Fortnite despite only needing to click a single checkbox. Of course, it's easy not getting tempted since I don't have a windos system to begin with.

You aren't supporting them by accepting free games and then not using them. It costs them money to give them to you.

We found out in the Apple lawsuit that the games are fixed price for Epic, so you can download or not as you wish - individually you do not make their cost go up.

Tbh I love Steam, but I think it's nice with a little competition. Definitely checking this out

Then go promote GOG or itch.io. Don't support companies with monopolistic behavior

They can all be free, I'm still not touching your launcher.
