Linux is able to install XIV, but it is not supported.

So it's not that you have a problem with unsupported things, apparently? Why do you find one method which is not supported acceptable but not another?

Personally, I'm expecting to see some Olympic-level gymnastics, here.
I'm not suggesting should install Windows on a Steamdeck, just that it is an option - and the only one that SE will support.

I am not anti Linux or pro Windows. I sympathize with the people that this will affect. But at the end of the day it is SE's game, and if they want to make changes that doesn't violate the ToS then that is their prerogative. They don't support Linux as a platform and so Linux users can't complain too loudly if they are suddenly cut off. That is a risk you were taking by playing on an unsupported system.
