We do not officially support Linux and we cannot commit to having support for launch. We are still working on Official Linux Proton compatibility. This official stance has not changed since pre-release. We admit there was a mistake in communication by our CM which was unfortunetly screenshotted in our Discord and then posted on the linux Reddit, when the official stance has always been 'we are working on proton compatibility'.
They aren’t blocking linux out of hostility. They swapped anti cheats and are figuring things out. I believe their statement means no NATIVE linux support but seems they are committed to getting it working with proton.
If you’re curious about the new anti cheat, they are using Elytra. Elytra is developed by Embark Studios, The Finals and Arc Raiders devs. Those games run fine on linux but do not have Elytra fully implemented. Certain players are being selected to test the anti cheat but as far as I know, the games are currently using Denuvo AC (not DRM).
