Joke's on you. EGS doesn't support gaming on Linux and the Linux version of UnrealEngine is royally FUBAR so there is no reason to download it.
I've now lost multiple entire weekends to trying to figure out how to just download assets from FAB, on linux.
Finally, they just made a direct option on the website to just download files, you know, like a normal download.
Prior to that, you basically had to install or compile and install UE5, to be able to download some asset.
... This doesn't work well, because as you say, UE 5 is horrifically borked and improperly documented on linux, they can't even figure out how to list all the dependencies you actually need, and thats on the linux versions they claim to support.
