But... I wanna play Fortnite.

I know it's not a solution for everyone, but this is why I dusted off my Xbox. Fortnite on Xbox supports keyboard and mouse too

I don't have an Xbox. Come on.

I figured, which is why I worded my comment the way I did.

It's an option worth considering for games that are incompatible.

I mean, if the option is "just have a separate device that runs a Microsoft OS", it might as well be my desktop.

I don't exclusively mean Xbox. Playstation, Nintendo consoles, take your pick.

I get that, but the suggestion is still to have a dedicated device to play Fortnite and that's exactly what I'm doing, the device just happens to be a PC running Windows.
