Linux players getting banned on Apex Legends again

This is the best summary I could come up with:

---

As a little PSA word of warning, it seems EA / Respawn have begun another little ban wave or they’ve tweaked something in their anti-cheat that Linux / Steam Deck players are getting caught in for Apex Legends.

This issue happened back in late February into early March this year, with a mixture of mostly desktop Linux players with a few who played on Steam Deck getting banned from Apex Legends.

EA eventually overturned the bans, but it seems it has begun happening once again.

Various reports have begun appearing across Reddit and a fresh post on the EA Forum with users detailing their bans.

Apex Legends is currently Steam Deck Verified and their Easy Anti-Cheat is supposed to be supported on Linux, so hopefully the bans will once again be overturned.

When you play games with anti-cheat regardless of the support status on Steam Deck and desktop Linux, there’s always the chance even if you’re a legitimate player that you’ll somehow get caught up in a ban wave after doing nothing wrong.

Here's an idea... stop giving your money to companies that don't want you as a customer.

It sure is. And “stop giving your money” is excellent advice for free-to-play software.
