ko2fan Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 (edited) Let Goldhawk know which Linux distros you want them to support for the game. If other - post which one! Edited May 17, 2012 by ko2fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alm Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Can I ask a question? Does Fedora count as Red Hat or shall I choose Other? I personally don't understand why are CentOS / Red Hat (which are seldom used as desktop distros) in the poll and Fedora (which is intended for home use) is not.

Hi Alm, I'd probably count Fedora as Red Hat, although it's possible we might want to tweak the poll options later on (not many people use Debian as a desktop either; at least, not sensible people). I'd ask about Gentoo but I don't know if Xenonauts will support -funroll-loops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terkhen Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I use Arch In my experience with linux development, linux distributions are similar enough to ignore their differences, unless the game relies heavily on desktop environment specific stuff. Usually you only need to think about a specific distribution when coding except for packaging, and you can always release a distribution-agnostic binary.

Kaguya Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Debian on my linux box. But it doesn't have a screen, a keyboard nor a mouse. Just power and network plugged in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ko2fan Posted May 18, 2012 Author Share Posted May 18, 2012 All of the options are just the Linux's I have experience working with. They also happen to be (IMO) the most common, whether people are using them as a desktop or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxztt Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Debian GNU/Linux. Also I'd like to add, that I would prefer a real native solution to a wrapper, if that is possible somehow. (e.g. by contacting the Playground SDK people and asking whether they would be willing to participate in porting the code or to contract out a port or to give you the source code for doing the port) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alm Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Well, lets count Fedora (and its derivatives) as Red Hat. Although I think the release should be distributive-independent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(e.g. by contacting the Playground SDK people and asking whether they would be willing to participate in porting the code or to contract out a port or to give you the source code for doing the port) I would also prefer a native solution, but after a quick search at the Playground forums they don't seem interested on creating a Linux port. Asking anyways wouldn't hurt, though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonshine Fox Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 I run Arch, whenever I feel like it on my desktop, and always on my server. Atm, I'm stuck with Windows 7 due to this damn addiction to gaming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kovyakov Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 I run openSuse 12.1 here. But I have two hd (W7/openSuse) to game vs work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterwalgreens Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Ubuntu? I'd like to have a simple game to install on my simple linux laptop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kigurai Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Fedora. Ran Ubuntu before, but was not convinced of their future plans. Fedora is nice because they get all the new Linux goodies first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sd_ks Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Ubuntu and Gentoo for polar opposites! I write code on Gentoo, and mostly use Ubuntu for work and easy-to-install games (Gentoo for the picky ones... I can get the prerequisites just right there).

Buzzles Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 I'm gonna say Debian. Mostly because I've just taken delivery of a Raspberry Pi, and one of it's main supported OS's is Debian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given enough messing around it should run, but be damned if I'm going to write an x86 to Arm6 emulator and possibly a DirectX emulator for a single game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirilz Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 I run Arch Linux, has been a very smooth ride so far. Only problem is the ATi drivers, but I had that problem under open SUSE as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ihammers Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 ATi and Linux are kind of like oil and water. They don't mix well You're sure?) For water and oil you can add surfactant, and get micelle.
