Doesn't start on Linux

[Florigamer91]

Hello, the game does not start on Steam. The app image starts from the folder of the game without any problems. My distribution is Manjaro Linux.

Maybe Steam can't do anything with the app image.

Why do appimages cause issues on Ubuntu? Their main feature is to just download, mark as executable, and then run. It's just that steam already does the first 2 steps.

And tbh, all Ubuntu users could do is simply open a terminal and run sudo apt install supertux.
Wouldn't surprise me if it's also available as a snap.

Yes, they can install it from the Ubuntu Software but many new comers just know Steam in means of gaming. It would be important to get it work here without any hassle.

The reason for AppImages to not work OOTB on Ubuntu relates to libfuse2 (or FUSE library), which is not (or used no be) present by default. How could a new user know say, about this library.

Ubuntu really makes some questionable decisions.

Didn't the Ubuntu team also remove some 32-bit libraries causing issues on some peoples computers? Because for whatever reason, some stupid 32-bit library which cost you precious megabytes of storage space need to go.

What adds to this unfortunate situation is that most new Linux users go to Ubuntu. These things should just be there, as kind of a responsibility. It is not very good either when a game with an actual Linux mascot does not even launch.

It is not pleasant to explain for example kids that we can't right away play this "Super Mario type game for free" because daddy has to do research on Linux libraries.

So yeah, these things would be important to make just work.... With that mighty click.

Why would you install this from Steam and not from your distro's repo (I can guarantee your repo have supertux in it)?

The steam version has cloud saves.
This is nice for people who distrohop but if you've found a distro you like. There isn't much of a reason to use the version from Steam.

It should "just work" also from Steam, of course. Many people only game here. This has been fixed, btw. The game launches.

Steam Snap should now have Super Tux as Linux Native to be playable since August 2024 update.

Planned by Canonical.

If you're an Ubuntu user, you should try Steam Snap by Canonical, because ever since they did August 2024 update for Steam Snap, Super Tux on Linux native is now playable without workarounds.

Oh, hey. It has been quite a while since I've taken a look at this game (and probably quite a while since I've acknowledged this game's existance)

The Steam snap, while it likely solves the 32-bit dependency issue, is also known to cause other bugs. The Steam snap is relatively new and isn't testes as throroughly as the .deb package or other unofficial redistributions of Steam such as the Steam flatpak (which is known to work quite well)
If I ran Ubuntu on my machine, I would likely choose said flatpak because it's generally tested and in common use. Or just use the native .deb package and troubleshoot the dependencies as to not be affected by the (probably negotiable) performance impact.

That's cool, but I'm glad Canonical finally fixed their Steam Snap that way I could able to play games like Quake Champions, Doom Eternal, Fallout 76, and more.

Linux native games including Super Tux based of appimage are now playable.
Go to app settings (gnome-control-center) and check all permissions on Steam Snap and then run your favorite Steam games and they'll work fine now once again.

But Worms W.M.D on Linux is still unplayable instead like usual run the game on Proton (8.0 or later) and make sure all of video .wmv files is based on mp4 by getting .mp4 files and overwrite all of .wmv files in the game to play the game perfectly.

Hello The Ral,

Is there a reason why you claim it's not working on Arch Linux according to your quote?

Were you able to change permissions on your Pop!_OS gnome settings that says Apps?
It should able to be same thing like on Ubuntu since it's based upon Ubuntu and uses its own GNOME desktop.
