Best shot:
There was a self contained AppImage around once but it had bugs. Maybe finding it, upgrade the Wine/DXVK/VKD3D inside and try…
EDIT: Last known best compatible version is 2021. And from my recalling, it works best if installed on Windows and then moved on Linux (plus all the littered files it creates around Windows).
Well the thing with those “enabled EAC on Linux to see where it gets us” is it’s non-binding and non-commital. And it’s made explicitely that way so that support cannot be demanded from Linux users unlike Windows users who are explicitely mentioned in the systems supported by the game.
We legally don’t have any ground to be supported the same as Windows users.
This. It’s not easy or trivial but as a long term strategy, they should already plan investing efforts into consolidating something like Godot or another FOSS engine. They should play like you calm down an abuser you can’t just escape yet while planning their demise when the time has come.
