Native build for GNU/Linux?

[Heitor Villa-Lobos]

The best OS ever made is the GNU operating system with the Linux kernel.

Please release the game for other OSs other than that malware spread by Micro$oft.

The best OS for gaming today is GNU/Linux. Its not the mosy supported, or with most players, but it deffinitely is amazing right now and the numbers keep on growing.

As a life advice: consider the GNU operating system for everything, from general use to playing videogames.

Thanks!

You can play it just fine through Proton...

The truth is, I’m not familiar with the Linux environment, and porting the game to Linux would require a significant amount of time—reading documentation, performing extensive testing, and addressing any bugs that might come up from the port. Given the small number of players who would benefit, I don’t think the effort would be worth it. This is the most honest answer I can give you. I’m truly sorry, and I hope you can understand!

That's unfortunate.

Considering this is a game about operating systems, one would think the developers have some experience with the best OS currently available for PC, the GNU (or "GNU/Linux") operating system.

Perhaps consider liberating the source code and assets in some Git repo under a GPL, and let the geeks try to port it?

Thanks for the answer, and I sincerely hope you personaly move on from legacy spyware to a decent OS.

I would rather use GNU/Linux myself, but if I were writing a game I would write it for Windows and count on Prroton. That's not because I like Windows, it's because for many years people paid me to write Windows software and I'm reasonably good at it. A native Linux game would be ideologically satisfying, but practically it's no easier to run under Linux than a Windows game.

Right now we have a huge installed base of Windows software and huge numbers of developers who already know how to write it. The solution is not to retrain everyone, it's to write something like Proton that makes retraining unnecessary.

And that is extrenely unfortunate. I want to break the cycle, not sustain it.

We're living through deep ethical and environmental crisis, and Microsoft is a problem in both of them.

The point of the thread is clear, and the developer has answered already.

This is cope beyond imagination. If it's really the best OS, why do 96% of Steam users use Windows? Cope and seethe.

Please do not derail the thread with bad logic.
Microshaft has anticompetitive deals with manufacturers to sell only their malware at retail. Most people just use the default configuration.

Also, those numbers count millions of machines that don't actually run games.

On top of that, the majority always lagged behind. In the beginning of the last decade, like 90% of browsers were Internet Explorer. Right now, its Chrome, even if it has gone to ♥♥♥♥ and there are better browsers out there.

However you do not wish for logic: you're trying to irritate and not be constructive.
