Is my only option to give up subscribing to Eve to stay on Linux? (that is an option I am prepared to do) I don’t want to have Windows any more.
Also read about companies banning Linux players, so I am not prepared to take that risk with subscribing and being punished for using Linux.
What can I do?

I have been playing Eve on Linux for many months. Have not had any issues, also have not been banned. You should be fine.
You can see other reports for how well folks have been able to get Eve to work on Linux on the ProtonDB site.

Is there an OFFICIAL position by CCP on Linux subscribers?
I do not want to pay and pray on luck.
If it works, and officially supported (as in no bans for Linux), then I can continue, if not, not going to happen.

and that is why there is the risk, no, I simply just want rid of Windows, not going to use it any more.
If that is the attitude, I will stop subbing once I migrate to Linux
They don’t officially support Linux users. Just saw a topic where they have updated the launcher

can you please link the official CCP Policy on Linux subscribers?
Why not go to the Linux part of the forums ?

Missed it, well, can you point me to the part in the ToS regarding Linux subscribers?

I just want reassurances from the ToS that It is fine.
I don’t have sources off the top of my head, but I’m sure you could google it.
From what I remember I believe they stated that it will not be officially supported, but it is also not against the TOS.
I really think you will be fine though. I have never once been banned from a game for playing on a Linux box, and several of my buddies have been playing Eve specifically for years without needing “a talk” with CCP.

Install Windows → Install EVE. Fixed.

Maybe a forum moderator can help point out the ToS that states Linux gaming is fine.

if there is no official stance that it is ok on Linux gaming then I won’t be risking a sub

Not expecting for them to support the client as in technical support, just support in the sense that it is OK TO USE LINUX officially if you wish.
