MineTest https://www.minetest.net [External Link] and Vintage Story https://www.vintagestory.at [External Link] are two alternatives. Anyone knows more similar?

First up, run these install scripts one after the other in terminal:

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/89luca89/distrobox/main/install [External Link] | sh -s -- --prefix ~/.local

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/89luca89/distrobox/main/extras/install-podman [External Link] | sh -s -- --prefix ~/.local

Next up, we need to add the directories it uses into our .bashrc file, so we can run commands as normal in terminal. In your .bashrc file (found in your Home folder), add these to the bottom:

export PATH=$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH

export PATH=$HOME/.local/podman/bin:$PATH

Only curious for absolute new comers who may not know what "terminal" is; is it in practice possible to do all this without a terminal? If so, how most effectively?

Apparently Tim Sweeney now loves Linux https://twitter.com/TimSweeneyEpic/status/1564669527165702145 [External Link]

Meanwhile, the Epig (typed correct) game store doesn't have a controller support, nor a way for it to play Linux games. I wouldn't support Epig in any way, until they start to give Linux love technically.

we won't be able to make a Native Linux build, there were far too many issues and we couldn't get it to run properly. The Proton version of the game has a much smoother experience

How can this be? Why is it this way all the way nowadays? The game runs better on the get go via assets and tech made for Windows rather than what is meant for Linux?

I think Ubuntu should be combined as so "Ubuntu 22.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS" on the list.

It shows that Ubuntu is still the most popular one LTS's combined. I mean Ubuntu is Ubuntu. The combined share for Ubuntu is 15,26 %.

Quoting: JpxeIsn't Flatpak the solution to this? Then you can just target the runtime environment and it will always stay the same

Or Snap rather. Snaps are much more versatile than flatpaks. They are not each others drop in replacements against a surprisingly common misconception.

Packagers in general very often choose Snap because Flatpak is made for desktop applications only, while Snap can ship libraries, apps, server/CLI software, and much more.

The longer initial startup time of Firefox is most definitely not a reasonable excuse to suggest ditching the whole thing which is a work in progress anyways.

so Feral is doing these endless Warhammer games only now :huh: there used to be much more appealing stuff like Mad max, Tomb Raiders and what have you.

looks like installing it is still entering a world of pain though. none of the 3 ways seem to work: https://reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/w6s477/veloren_fresh_release_but_both_flatpak_and_snap/ [External Link]

i wish installing a simple game would not be, at least this confusing, to begin with :shock:

I honestly started to feel sick. I had to double check that i actually read right.

Quoting: ElectricPrismI'm tempering my excitement because of the development history of this, however I am highly anticipating this. They should take a page from the UNIX philosophy and just release it -- if they want to improve it with 1.1 and 1.2 milestones -- that's definitely the way.

Working copy works? Good -- ship it. Just imagine all the changes since Terraria was released, or Stardew Valley. It's okay to push perfection & details off after release and actually interact with the community to get to that perfection.

maybe this should be brought to devs awareness. i don't have twitter or anything myself but, yeah.
