   The store page for my game got approved for Steam. Pls wishlist this, otherwise Steam will be retarded and ignore me in favor of AAA stuff. I love you. Many sleepless nights being spent on this. I have a guy completely remodeling and retexturing the killdozer now. Things are really moving along now.

     @honkwerx It's a real shame you developed it on Unity, as a result it's proprietary even if you intended to respect the users freedom and release it as free software (for a price or gratis).
     
     With unity, you just press the "Linux" compile button and GNU/Linux versions are produced, tbh that's yet another binary that soils the freedom of GNU/Linux.

     I'm definitely missing the point man because it's just not something I've done before. I promise I won't ignore Linux! It's just a knowledge gap right now.

     @honkwerx Missing the point
     
     If you support
     
     OpenAL
     SDL2
     Vulkan
     OpenGL
     on Windows
     
     Instead ofDX9/DX11
     its going to be easier to support Linux
     
     
     Both UNITY and UE4 supports Linux
     
     You should be using GODOT instead

     @honkwerx Thanks
     
     If you can make the game supporting
     
     OpenGL
     Vulkan
     OpenAL
     SDL2
     
     Then its going to make Linux support 98% already their

     Tall order, brother. I need to watch some tutorials on Unity and Linux. Unfortunately, all my Linux machines are crappy chromebooks or virtual machines so I'm not sure if I'd be able to effectively test.

     No promises, but I'll give it a shot. I love Linux but I'm not a Linux gamer so this is a challenging prospect.
