Kurock Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 The short answer is "No". The longer answer is "If there is enough interest, maybe later". And I am paraphrasing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordFoobar Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 I follow this game since last year, and am awaiting more word about Linux support. I will DEFINITELY buy this game if Linux is supported. The issue is that everyone says the same thing : If there is a market for it. But only a few dare break the barrier. It's vicious circle; Linux is a pretty awesome gaming platform, even more stable than Windows. Moreover, with Vulkan, I believe it is even better since Vulkan is meant to run on just about anything; making a game for Linux is more intelligent than supporting only Windows. Sure, there are more gamers on Windows, but this will change very soon. The Linux community is a loyal one, and from what I read on Steam, of all the comments I read, Linux users are often more courteous and understanding than others. It is my opinion and conclusion anyway. But that aside, I read that the dev for this game already run DU in Linux... so why would it cost that much to make it available? Just release the game for Debian based distros since it's by far the most popular platform, notably Ubuntu and the derivatives; just target Steam OS.

Kael Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Why waste development time on Linux when (according to Steam surveys) only 0.72% of people on Steam use Linux? It would make more sense to develop a version for OSX, but that's only 2.95% of user on Steam Obviously, this doesn't take every game or situation into consideration but it does give you a good idea of what OS players are using to play games with.

Inasyah Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Yeah, Linux and Gaming is something that doesn't really comply. I guess if you are a Linux user, just install Windows as a second OS just for Gaming and use Linux for everything else. Linux is just not worth it for Games.

Lord_Void Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Which is sad. I wish more people added support for Linux Steven Reeves 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dRopship Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Games supported on linux already Personally I'm quite hopeful for seeing DU run on linux. I think it is less upto the developers and more upto Linux users tbh ;P If DUs in-game scripting resembles the likes of gmod,(pic below) I'm assuming there may be fellow programmers playing DU And to be honest, i wouldn't be surprised to see it on Wines App List running in no time at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shockeray Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 I am actually surprised by the number of people running W8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tryph Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 I will be happy to buy this game when it is ready for Linux. ( and no, I will not spend 150 extra euros in a Windows license ;) ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duckimus Maximus Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 You can get quite far with virtualization with qemu I have a windows VM I use for malware research and out of curiosity I set one up for gaming a while ago. Anti cheats don't flag that they're in a VM and you can get baremetal performance with passthrough. You just need to give the VM enough cores&ram so you have the horsepower to actually run the games. I use Arch, and you can find a great guide for how to set this up on the arch wiki. Borb_1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
