The desktop app is called “EA App” not “EA Play” which is where the confusion is coming from. “EA Play” is the game subscription service that’s like gamepass.

I had the exact same issue as you in Apex Legends, and I was able to find a workaround. Basically, nvidia reflex didn’t work with dx11 (DXVK) at all, but forcing the game into dx12 (VKD3D) mode worked without issue.
To enable, you just need to set this in your launch options.
command% -anticheat_settings=SettingsDX12.json
Also, you may need to set the nvapi environmental variable, but I’m pretty sure nvapi is already enabled in proton for Apex Legends.
I recommend using proton experimental as it uses an up-to-date version of dxvk-nvapi
As of proton 9.0 the environmental variable is now PROTON_FORCE_NVAPI=1

Plasma 6 is currently in beta, so it really isn’t meant to be used for anything other than testing. I have it installed on arch, and honestly it’s good enough for my use with wayland, but you will definitely will run into issues. I also use Nvidia, though, so I’d probably have more issues than you will.
Overall, I only recommend it right now if you can roll back or if it isn’t that big of a deal if your install breaks.
They sorta do. Flatpak user install puts shims in
~/.local/share/flatpak/exports/bin/
. You just need to add it to your path.I’m pretty sure flatpak system installs are at
/var/lib/flatpak/exports/bin/
so you’d just add that to path.
