Hello 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.

I 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...

Don't care. Would rather have an AZERTY support (at last)

I 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 ...

linux is for work, even if you use linux you boot up windows if you want to play something.

I 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.

For 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

Since 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.

William Norman

Steam deck is easier to support than broader Linux as a whole.

People 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.

Simon Renshaw

Sure. I test on Ubuntu and assume it will work everywhere.

Do you mean support for X86, ARM or both?
