One question. Linux support.
Added 2023-03-28 08:30:23 +0000 UTCHello Everyone. I have a simple question. Do you have Linux?
I'm thinking about adding support for this platform. So I want to know how many of you using this OS.

Do you mean support for X86, ARM or both?

2023-03-29 00:03:04 +0000 UTCIt doesn't take to much efforts (as far as I know)

2023-03-28 23:53:47 +0000 UTCPeople who have access to linux will, in almost every case, also have access to windows. It would be better to put your efforts into more content.

2023-03-28 21:54:57 +0000 UTCSince you have a game made in Unity, it is easy to make a Linux version. Also, it should run easily on Steam Deck. I've made Linux ports and I also have a Steam Deck. I'm a gamedev, let me know if you have questions.

2023-03-28 21:02:28 +0000 UTCFor question I concur with census the amount people that use linux would not constitute the time it take to convert it and as norman said to many distro

2023-03-28 19:39:14 +0000 UTCI read an article about a studio that supported it- they ended up with metrics stating they had (been awhile, numbers are ballpark) ~0.01% linux users, and like 40% of support tickets were from linux users. Linux distros vary a lot. Supporting all of them is difficult.

2023-03-28 16:25:42 +0000 UTCI dont use Linux, but i got a SteamDeck wich uses SteamOS (Arch-Linux)... Most People seems to use this tool called wine or proton to use windows applications / games on a linux machine... but i dono what this means for the game development ...
2023-03-28 11:35:32 +0000 UTCDon't care. Would rather have an AZERTY support (at last)

2023-03-28 11:30:42 +0000 UTCI dont run Linux, but mayhaps you even get more to play if you prepare it for it...no clue how much extra work it is... just my 5 cents...
