Has anyone gotten a game or account ban using Linux with Lutris or Heroic Games Launcher? (lemmy.world)

I built a PC for the family yesterday, and I'm hoping to get away with going 100% Linux. What makes me a little nervous is that Epic Games, GOG, battle.net, EA store, etc don't officially support Linux. If I try using Lutris, or Heroic Games Launcher, or something similar to use those platforms, is there a chance my account will get banned? I've seen some stories about people getting banned from Apex Legends using Linux, but since I don't play that one I'm not too concerned about it.

Has anyone had a bad experience?

No, you can get banned for circumventing anti cheat to play on Linux, but that's not anything to do with Linux specifically.

I've been running and enjoying HGL on ChimeraOS for the last few months.
