I’ve been playing on Linux the whole time I’ve been playing Eve. What has it been now? 11 years? It runs fine in wine and although CCP doesn’t “, officially” support it they have a Linux section in these forums and the devs will tweak things from time to time if it causes the game to have a horrible crash or something. They also made a Linux native launcher when the windows one didn’t work good for a while. I’m not sure where the fear of being banned for using Linux came from especially when CCP has been relatively Linux friendly over the years. ---

The fear stems from the actions of other games companies (EA for example) in the news and it’s an issue that will affect people if they want to move to Linux and game on it ---

Why would CCP have a Linux section in their official forums and devs that (even if not in an official support capacity) do things for Linux players if they were going to ban Linux players lol. ---

Try it, it works decently. There are some issues from time to time, generally after Wine or Eve updates, and the performances are slightly inferior but that won’t prevent you to enjoy any aspect of the game.
