I love Manjaro but not enough to use Gnome ;)

I wishlisted it on Steam to show interest but hopefully it comes to GOG or Itch.io like the original did.

Quoting: rregeerPurchased it last week on Itch.io.It works pretty good on Wine. The Linux version does not work because Adobe AIR

This has been my experience as well. I figured it was a cheap way to see if I will like Anodyne 2 which does have a working Linux version.

I'm looking forward to hopefully being able to play Late Shift when Manjaro gets this version of Wine.

Quoting: MatomboFor People where the game doesn't start: I use Manjaro and i had to install openssl-1.0 and libcurl-gnutls (pacman -Fx helped me find the packages).

Thank you for that. I had been searching for those but Pacman wasn't finding them. By copying and pasting exactly as you had them typed I was able to. I'm not sure why Pacman didn't think to bring up openssl-1.0 when I typed in SSL or openssl but all's well that ends well. Game works on Manjaro for me now as well.

Quoting: YamesHi, I made "Discover My Bodies", someone alerted me to this article from my CuriousCat. first off, thank you so much for featuring my game. Secondly, I've been trying to get feedback on the Ubuntu build, I have seen that people have downloaded it for Ubuntu (and hoped that no news was good news) but this is the more or less the first I have heard of people experiencing trouble getting the game to run. I'm not super experienced with Linux but I thought I would take a shot at building for Ubuntu using this guide, which I am posting for the sake of clarity (https://help.yoyogames.com/hc/en-us/articles/235186168-Setting-Up-For-Ubuntu).

One thing the article makes explicit is the need for these dependencies on the user's end:
libcurl4
libopenal1

This may be a moot point, just thought I would point it out again considering the that these instructions are sort of toward the bottom of the page/not immediately apparent on Discover My Body's itch.io page. The one previous instance someone mentioned a libcrypto error code to me regarding the Ubuntu build, they did not have the required dependencies. I was hoping to hear back from them confirming that they installed them and that the game was working, but they are away from their Linux machine now because of the pandemic :(

It may be the case that the game can only run on Ubuntu, if so, please let me know so I can more prominently specify that on the game's page. Thanks.

I can say that I have gotten the game to run on Trisquel; Manjaro; and Linux Mint. Trisquel and Mint required me to do nothing but run the game normally without installing anything extra. On Manjaro I had to install dependencies. Trisquel and Linux Mint are both based off of Ubuntu which is based off Debian so in my experience anything Debian based should be a smooth experience out of the gate as the dependencies seem to be already installed by default.

I wonder if this would allow anyone to improve the Linux version at all ? It's main problems lie with Adobe AIR so I doubt it but maybe someone with expertise will find a way to do some good.

Tried to run it in Manjaro and got the error:

"error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.1.0.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

Trying to find that lib on Pacman with no luck. May try it on a debian based distro on a spare SSD as I can find that lib in .deb format.

Quoting: GuestArgh, went to try it but the lib requirements are a bit messed up. I suppose it really is intended for Ubuntu.

Used GameMaker by the looks of things. I've no experience with that, but I wonder if that's where the build particulars are coming from.

Seems to load fine here on Manjaro.

Probably the right lib names then. I'm seeing complaints about libcrypto.so.1.0.0 (symlink to libcrypto.so might work there, though I have 1.1.0), wants libcrypto-gnutls (not sure it needs the gnutls, might work symlinking to libcrypto.so), and libssl.so.1.0.0 (again, might work if symlinking against libssl.so, which in my case is libssl.so.1.1).

More of a frustration that GNU/Linux suffers these problems still. They are easily avoidable, with a bit of care, and I don't know why development tools haven't progressed to the point of making this much easier for developers.

I'll poke around more with the libs, see if I can get it to run.

--edit: yeah, does actually work if I do it right. In my case, create a lib folder to copy & rename into, and use LD_LIBRARY_PATH to load them from there. Hacky, but works.

It's a frustration but I'm happy to see the developer trying to put it on our platform. Got to walk before you can crawl.

Edit #2:

Launched on Trisquel out of the box so i'm in business !

I have had it work on Steam so far but not on Lutris. Looking at the issues section of Github I am not the only one. Overall though I see a lot of promise for MangoHud. Right now RadeonTop isn't showing GPU usuge for my 5700XT so MangoHud is filling that gap.

Quoting: ajgp

Quoting: PublicNuisanceCan't wait for open source CPUs to become more popular and powerful.

Only problem with that is any Open Source CPU would have to be of an architecture other than x86 / X86_64 as these are locked by Intel & AMD respectively and Intel is fairly adamant on no-one else ever getting an X86 license (the only other would be VIA).

So any open source CPU would most likely be ARM based, that leaves you in the whole what will be compiled to run on it scenario. A powerful CPU that wont run applications that people use daily will never gain traction.

We're all here using an OS for gaming that has a market share of less than 1% and has taken years and years to get the little traction in gaming that it has yet here we are plowing forward. There's tons of programs that don't work on Linux out of the box but we adapt and overcome, same can be done on another architecture. The advancement of ARM based Linux phones may be a big deal in the next few years if ARM based open source CPUs do end up being an option. Nothing good happens overnight and patience is one of the few things I have, well for tech anyways.
