What UI and performance improvements are expected in the reworked launcher that will apply on Linux?
The reworked Epic Games Launcher is expected to bring significantly faster load times, an improved user interface, and written user reviews for games, among other improvements. The new launcher is being built on the WebView-based Tauri framework, which is designed to work across Windows, Linux, and Mac, so these UI and performance improvements will apply on Linux. Answered
Will the reworked launcher’s move away from Unreal Engine to Tauri impact availability of written user reviews and other store features on Linux?
Yes. The article says the reworked Epic Games Launcher will include written user reviews and other store improvements, and that the new launcher is built on Tauri, a WebView framework designed to work across Windows, Linux, and Mac. This indicates those features are part of the Tauri-based, cross-platform rebuild. Answered
