A few games that could support it with the flick of a switch (or quite literally a checkbox) such as Rust and Fortnite do not, but EAC itself does support Linux and quite well. VRChat uses EAC and it runs just fine (thousands of hours with it working), just as one example.
At this point, if a game doesn't work on Linux with EAC, it is 100% pure unadulterated laziness on the company's part. They can literally enable it and say "We officially don't support Linux, don't ask us for help if you play on it."
Fortnite doesn't work because of Tim Sweeney.
Rust doesn't work for technical reasons they're sorting out, they want to support Linux.
