Am I the only one that doesn't actually give a fuck if fortnite is on steam deck or not.?

Hell I'm happier with it not.

So it would upset you if it was available on the platform?

I would... Actively scoff...

It's more that having a game like that support linux would do a ton to quiet the "You can't game on Linux" crowd.

Fortnite what? Isn't that the crack the 12 year old video gamer nerds smoke?

I have no interest in it whatsoever, and I've banned my kids from playing it because I think it's predatory.

That said, I wish it was supported in Linux because that would likely instead Linux marketshare, which makes it more attractive to support for other studios, which means more working games on my platform of choice.

I don't care if Fortnite falls off a cliff and destroys itself, but I do care if it works on Linux.
