Quoting: owen123Is it me or I can't install HLDM source? It just won't install.
Same problem here. 

GOG.com Don't Plan On Introducing Linux Support In The Foreseeable Future UPDATED

Quoting: Clean3dcommodore256: I think that's a decent solution, but I would much rather that both distributions and game developers support a distro-agnostic set of standards than everyone agree to converge on a single distribution.
This would be great and is a fine way to do things. However that is different than actually supporting every distro under the sun. 

It's one things to set it up so it should work on every distro and another thing entirely to train support staff to help people with every distro and DE. 

So selecting officially supported distros would be the right way to go and anyone not using a supported distro should be aware that they are buying at there own risk.

Quoting: adolsonJust as I suspected - Wine-based. :\

  • 38 minutes ago Changed App Config
    • launch/4/description: Launch Wine Configurator

    • launch/4/config/oslist: linux

    • launch/4/executable: wineconfig



  • Personally I don't consider this a problem, as long as Wine is bundled and Linux is is a supported OS. More than a few games have been brought to OSX using this method and anything that brings us more games is Good in my view.

    And for half of those outcomes you game sucked ... Well of course it's going to bias the results ...
    True, but we are talking about benefits to devs not to end users and those are the out comes the devs are most likely to see from demos.

    I haven't had a chance to spend a lot of time with it yet (stupid work), but so far it looks pretty good. The platforming is challenging and the music is great. worth the money for sure.

    If they gave us something a little more concrete, then I would be willing to take the risk. Even if they only committed to 100% to one game in the bundle.
