This is the right answer. CKAN is also on Linux and makes modding a breeze.

Sadly KSP2 does not have a Linux build and also doesn't run well in Proton. But then again, it's also a bit hot garbage.

Good game but I think I would recommend paying through proton anyway because the native realise seems rather forgotten about.

Guess the devs were too focused on trying to make KSP2 less of a clusterfuck

I wouldn't give the original devs a hard time. It seems like they did an amazing job with very few resources. I don't even blame them for releasing a Linux native port as an afterthought, even that is better than most.

I will be very very surprised if KSP2 sees any meaningful improvement before being shut down.

Oh I was meaning to throw shade at the new developers who are running KSP2 into the ground.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I took it as such. :-)

I just wanted to show the original devs a little love.

@flibbertigibbet @LlamaSutra yeah I found it to be a much better time through Proton... But then, that seems to be my experience in quite a few games with native versions... 😄

It is honestly astounding what they've done with proton.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

@flibbertigibbet It really is. It blows my mind. And because it's so good, it basically makes it possible for most people to run Linux with no real compromises. Albeit some more specific needs that might prevent that for a smaller number of people.
