Linux support plz

fu9ar · Feb 24, 2018

I know it ain't gonna happen any time soon, if ever, but try to keep it on the list okay!? [yesnod]

I am tired of maintaining a Winbox that I only need for this game. I love y'all. I love what you've done, but it is time for me to move on. I just can't handle the cf of the Windozeverse anymore.

Consider this my notification of an extended sabbatical. I am tempted to call it a boycott, but that's a bit strong of a term.

OOooo

Oolite looks fun. I just now found the expansion packs... [haha]

I would look for an older thread. But I do support this idea.

Nay! Buy Windows.

Support would be nice, for those that use Linux, but at the same time, it might slow development for the other 4 platforms.

To be honest, I'm surprised they haven't announced dropping support for Mac, seems as Mac basically don't support gaming.

It's a Catch 22 chicken vs. egg kinda problem....

Ah yeah the thing that's economically about as appealing as selling mustard chocolate cake.

Yes. Linux support is needed.

I don't pay for spyware, so I won't be running windows on my next machine. This is still probably a couple years off for me, but it would be nice to have a native linux version ready by then.

1999 is calling and it wants your criticism back.

ED was the last game i bought for windows only. If windows 7 support ends (2020, no more security updates), i am forced to switch fully to linux, because i dont want to upgrade to windows 8 or 10.

I'm with you on this .. .. Running Windows 8.1 right now to have the latest version of directx and using SDAntibeacon to remove the ties to MS. Going to change the second they force me to log into windows with a hotmail account or force me to upgrade to windows 10 .

My distro of choice is the MINT variation. It's as close to windows as to make me feel comfortable and it runs Steam .. Win/Win..

Been running Mint on different computers since 14 and I really like it a lot ..

So Frontier .. another hand raised here in support for a linux port .. yay
