From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I've only had problems with Stellaris mods, i guess they use some windows only libraries? Ah and Elite Dangerous mods. Games like Starbound work even better on Linux though

Can you elaborate as to which Elite Dangerous mods you are having issues with?

Are you able to get EDMC to work?

[–] Quadrexium@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 weeks ago

EDMC worked fine, it was specifically Elite Dangerous Observatory. I had to run it through wine and I wasn't too confident in it.

I purchased a few stellaris dlc and they work fine. Not sure if you mean dlc.

[–] Quadrexium@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 weeks ago

Had all the dlc at one point and yeah they were fine

Hmm, that's weird. I've had linux-issues with Stellaris mods exactly once. They've been working pretty well otherwise

Most of them work fine, it's just a couple that crash the game when loading. But it's been a few years it might be fixed
