This was a big issue ~5 months ago, and they ended up unbanning all of the linux players (I know reddit sucks, I’m sorry, but it’s currently the best source of info I could find): https://www.reddit.com/r/apexlegends/comments/11gaefo/ea_is_falsely_massbanning_steam_deck_and_linux/
However, three reports from this morning (including myself) just rolled in, as well as a few others from the past month (check recent replies): https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Linux-players-getting-banned/td-p/12338557
One of the banned players from this morning was also banned (then unbanned) when this was an issue 4-5 months ago.

Gaming on Linux now has an article about this: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2023/08/linux-players-getting-banned-on-apex-legends-again/
We’re up to 12 linux users banned in the past ~day

So if I try to run the game on hardware that doesn’t meet the requirements and I get it to run (like a pentium IV) I should be banned?
