Any chance to see it running? I thought of qemu, wine, yuzu: do you know any working way?

As I understand it it's the anti-cheat that is the problem. If this is the only problem there is essentially only two possible ways to get Fortnite running in Linux:

Get Epic to support Linux
Crack the anti-cheat.

Since a major part of anti-cheat systems is preventing people circumventing it I would say that the easiest path would be getting epic to support Linux. One valid argument would be to play Fortnite on Steamdeck .

It is the anti-cheat. People have gotten the game to run via Proton, however you simply can't join lobbies no matter what be because of the anti-cheat. It would just be a matter of Epic enabling support for Linux/Proton in EAC on their side, however Epic has publicly been against doing so stating some pretty nonsensical reasons to why they choose not to enable support.
