QA would need to have special Linux machines with a variety of different hardware setups. Developers would need to be able to dual-boot a Linux installation to try to place breakpoints and track down the bug.

Finding and fixing those bugs costs time and money. There's a lot of bugs which are OS-dependent (usually graphics bugs). On paper, it would seem that you could just mash the "export to Linux" button and provide a native Linux binary.

There's no Linux client, and that's intentional (not my call). I work in the AAA gaming sphere, using an engine that has a 1-click "export to Linux" button. But despite appearances, it's actually not as easy as that. Most major game engines have a 1-click "compile for Linux" button. I realize this is a bit of an old comment, but just a quick clarification: We know spam when we see it and will delete it. This means things like repetitious posting of similar content, low-effort posts/memes and misleading/exaggerated titles on link posts. We all need to support each other to help GNU/Linux gaming grow. If it's a link post, think about writing a comment to tell us more - the more you engage with us, the more we like it. Remember you are talking to another human being.ĭevs and content producers: If you've ported your game to Linux or created some GNU/Linux-gaming-related content (reviews, videos, articles) then, so long as you're willing to engage with the community, please post it here. Heated discussions are fine, unwarranted insults are not. Please flair tech-support requests as tech support and re-flair them as answered if an answer has been found.

What exactly did you do, and how, and with what version of what? How have you tried to troubleshoot the problem? Vague, low-effort tech-support requests may get removed. Include relevant details like logs, terminal output, system information. Tech-support requests should be useful to others: those who might run into the same problem as well as those who might be able to help. It is not (primarily) a tech-support forum. r/Linux_Gaming is for informative and interesting gaming content, news and discussions.
