The UE4 linux demos which are in the PTS can AFAIK be built with the UE4editor by anybody as the content is free to use. Not sure if it can be built from linux or how it is done.

You mean that non-profit game whose developers paid id Software several thousand dollars just to flee from GPLv2, in order to make their game logic proprietary?

Sad to see Unity being better on Linux than UE4, offering packages for easy installation and integration. I just hope 4.10 will finally bring Epics Launcher to Linux

Michael, why don't you signup for EpicGames gitgub and build it from source?

Epic canned the launcher for linux back in june. This caused some of the community developers to quit, some went to unity. If you are really interested most of it is in the IRC logs.
