It seems like there's a glitch somewhere in their system that is causing these accounts to be inappropriately flagged. EA has enabled EAC support for Linux, so there's no ToS reason why playing on Linux would get you banned. If they didn't want Linux players, they could have just disabled the Linux version of EAC.

    It's possible they want to support Steam Deck without supporting the rest of linux desktop, which would just be... dumb. The Steam Deck, in Valve's own words, is "just a PC" anyway.

    Considering they unbanned all most of the linux users last time though, this is likely just another mistake.

    They unbanned most last time. There were still people who were never unbanned and were never told why.

    The "why" is that it just isn't worth EA's time to fix the remaining accounts. The players don't matter as long as they already paid for the game.
