X-plain seems fantastic for hobbyists and enthusiasts! Good to see a Linux port.
Realism You Can Feel
Everything in X-Plane operates from real world physics. Aircraft handling, ground effect, wind gusts, and more will give you the most accurate flight sim experience possible. Try it today!
Detailed World and Atmosphere
As you explore the X-Plane world, the weather, water, light, 3-D forests, and everything around you add to the immersion.
Analyze and Refine Your Flying
There’s no end to the customization you can make to your flight simulator experience. Adjust your approach scenarios, get real-time feedback, and use tools like X-Plane’s replays to study and improve your skills and confidence over time.
Yeah, that's the classic one. It would be weird if there wasn't a Linux port for something "Tux" related.
Why system requirements say something different on their Steam Page? What am I missing?
I see!
Great to hear that! I need to make it finally running... (some weird audio issues)
Interesting that it hasn't come out yet. Did you play demo / playtest or what? I'm glad to see the Linux version.
I see.
Unreal Tournament Launcher by Epic Games
Seems funny to me that's on the Flathub due to this.
I think you can be a DRM free copy on their website too. But damn, that game is expensive with all the DLCs.
One of the reasons why the native Linux version is better than Proton.
Asynchronous saving
Many of you might not be aware that Factorio has support for saving your game in the background, without freezing while it does so. This feature is tucked away in the hidden settings and only works on macOS and Linux. This is one great example of taking advantage of a platform's features to benefit the game, which would not be available to us if we simply went through Proton.
Asynchronous saving works by using the fork syscall to essentially duplicate the game. The primary instance - the one you interact with - continues playing, but the newly forked child runs the saving process then exits on completion. I have used it for many years and have never had issues, but the setting remains hidden because there are a few unsolved problems with it and it requires a significant amount of RAM to work.
I would love to promote this feature away from its hidden status in 2.0. If you are playing on Linux or macOS, please enable asynchronous saving (ctrl+alt+click Settings -> "The rest" -> non-blocking-saving) and report any issues you find. I am particularly interested in reproducing a seemingly random freeze that occurs at the end of the process. Thank you in advance!
I will also add other games that I've played and absolutely loved them on Linux
I see X11 and Wayland as display protocols that tell to render things on the screen, for example to Desktop Environments like Gnome or KDE Plasma. X11 wasn't originally designed for this purpose, and its codebase is very messy and 'hacky,' which led to the development of Wayland.
X11 | Wayland |
---|---|
Legacy | Modern |
Many issues due to being legacy | Many issues due to being Modern |
Old | New |
Stable | Experimental |
in short.
This is my list, maybe it will be useful. :)
Strongly agree. I also tried to play Portal Reloaded on Linux, but I had some performance and dual monitor issues.
True, also modding it with SMAPI is working on Linux.
How about now? :)
You need to set up CI for the new platform, expand your build system to support the new compiler(s) and architecture(s), and have at least one person on the team that cares enough about the platform to actively maintain it. https://factorio.com/blog/post/fff-408
And yeah, exactly. Their game seems like their life mission, and I don't blame them. The game is spectacular.
Just because it's not on the list it does not mean it's bad :) Also there are Firefox forks like Mull, Iceraven and Fennec
Probably due to Epic Games exclusivity that spits at Linux users.
I had many copies of the same game now on Steam when I committed 2 years ago for Linux gaming. I preferred GOG back then, but with Proton and much friendliness of Valve, I prefer Steam now.
RiMusic (ViMusic fork, since ViMusic haven’t been updated in a long time)
I didn't know that! Thanks!
InnerTune also looks very promising!
I didn't know there was Linux port of this game, nice!
DirectX is a set of APIs for game and multimedia development on Windows, whereas X11 and Wayland are display protocols that manage how graphical applications are rendered and interact with the desktop environment. DirectX is more similar to Vulkan in terms of providing a low-level API for high-performance graphics rendering or OpenGL.
What will happen when Factorio 2.0 with the new expansion comes out. :)
I've seen it with Psychonauts 2. I needed to force Proton because FPS drops were horrible.
Probably the yt-dlp config could easily reduce complexity and leverage yt-dlp the most. However cool project though.
I tried to have this list as concise as possible. Probably it shouldn't even scale vertically - better horizontally, preferably with responsive design. However, how would you like it implemented? Every so often, I add necessary comments:
Like this
See Trackers for example.
So in the end I just wanted to create a list that if someone is interested in some app, he can click links and read about this app in Source Code repo or F-Droid. Yet, I was thinking of maybe F-Droid information dynamically scrapped into static site with "approved" apps but idk.
Ah I heard of it. It's also open source. :)
Hey, maybe that will be useful: github.com/Psyhackological/AAA
Thank you!
I see... quick search and I found this beauty, try it out, I haven't yet, but keep in my first sentence of it:
MOST PHONES DOES NOT SUPPORT CALL RECORDING. Blame Google or your phone manufacturer not me!
I've seen many stars coming in to this Voice Audiobook Player repository.
Let me link these, so anyone can check them out!
Nice! Shame that Borderlands 3 does not have it and you need to run it through Proton. :c
Glad you like it! You can help. I try to maintain it and add more apps in my free time 😉
Yes right! I recently found Open Video Editor! I will test it and add soon.
Yeah I btrfs-restore and btrfs-rescue. However do they work on not allocated drive but once was btrfs?
Oh, never heard of it, thanks! Almost decade old.
I didn't know there was a Linux port, thanks!
Oh, nice!
That's awesome. Thanks for showing this game!
