Appimage. I oily use a few of them, and manage them with GearLever.

When people think retro, it’s almost always 8/16/32 bit emulation. You could maths share the focus around by putting just as much focus in retro computer piracy.

Dos, win9x, Amiga, c64. Of course, you need contributors that can provide content to that effect.

I recently showed someone how to quickly get an older PC Lego racing game working on Linux. They tried and had trouble, I spent about 15 minutes from finding an iso to in-game and racing. So the content must be out there from someone?

I think you’ll find nearly every significant FOSS project will have American contributors software in its development. Typically, anyone who can code and wants to contribute can do so.

What are you talking about being downvoted for that. Ubuntu is not well-liked and switching it out is a common suggestion.

Any project is beneficial if someone is passionate about doing it.

The “this person shouldn’t work on this project, they should work on something that benefits me” line is selfish as hell.

If the projects you see aren’t the projects you want, then DIY. But don’t tell people they wasted their time because you don’t want to use their software.

I just opened Bottles and clicked to run the executable. Not quite, I manually set the launch options to disable video and set 1024x768.

But aside from that, clicked run executable and I’m in and playing:

EDIT: without disabling the videos, they play but you can’t skip them and then the game crashes afterwards. But from what I heard that also occurs on windows? It was a windows user saying it needs to launch with no video.

For posterity, the launch options for LEGO racers under wine: -novideo -horzres 1024 -vertres 768

Old games are significantly easier to run.

I look up old games I want to play and see just complaints about how hard it is to run it, links to defunct forums where someone has once posted a modded .exe to improve stability in post-NT systems, etc.

Often when I run those using wine the game just starts up.

It does not.

Currently supports Stardew Valley.

Next in their roadmap is Cyberpunk 2077, Mount & Blade 2, and Baldurs Gate 3.
