Is there a way to convert SVG to EPS on Linux and retain gradients and transparency?

Question

I'm using Inkscape to do graphic design on Linux and I'm quite happy with it and SVG files. Unfortunately, a client requests an * EPS* file. The designed logo contains gradients and the client also asked for transparent background.

Inkscape has an export option for eps files, but according to this post the file cannot contain gradients nor transparency, otherwise the output file will be rasterized.

Since this post and similar posts are about 5 years old or older, I was wondering if there is a way to get non-rasterized eps files (with gradients and transparency) nowadays.

You can try this in a command prompt:

inkscape -o eps-filename.eps orig-file.svg

Here -o is used for export. This works on my inkspace version 1.1.2.
