Has anyone gotten a game or account ban using Linux with Lutris or Heroic Games Launcher? (lemmy.world)

I built a PC for the family yesterday, and I'm hoping to get away with going 100% Linux. What makes me a little nervous is that Epic Games, GOG, battle.net, EA store, etc don't officially support Linux. If I try using Lutris, or Heroic Games Launcher, or something similar to use those platforms, is there a chance my account will get banned? I've seen some stories about people getting banned from Apex Legends using Linux, but since I don't play that one I'm not too concerned about it.

Has anyone had a bad experience?

fyi: Been using lutris/battle.net (on kubuntu) for wow and Diablo for a year and a month and no issues so far.

And also got battle.net setup on steam (running kubuntu too and want to play around with proton) as a non-steam game and still works
