Well… shit.
At least they confirmed they're working on enabling EAC correctly… at some point.

Enabling EAC is a simple checkbox you click in the dashboard when you build the executable afaik. How can this be so hard?
Official support is a higher bar than "we did the bare minimum to make sure it's theoretically possible for Proton to run it." They're probably just doing a little testing to make sure everything works decently before endorsing their product on Linux.
You have an uncomfortably low bar for success.
See this comment from OP. Seems like EAC is enabled, they just don't have specific support for making sure it actually works on Linux.
