Supreme Commander has been a very fun RTS - that barely worked on Windows.
FAF, or Forged Alliance Forever brought it back to life with my friends, where it rebuilt lobbies, shored up a lot of the patchy netcode, and made it fun - but as we know modding and linux gaming can be tedious.
Until I found this repo, where FAF now fully “supports” Linux! It was such a breeze, it found my Steam install, my copy of Forged Alliance, and it set everything else up. Huge kudos to the maintainer!
Fellow RTS guy here, SupComm works prettt well in linux for me
Supreme commander > BAR > total annihilation
for those that don’t know the game check out https://www.youtube.com/@GyleCast
and for anyone missing Total Biscuit, similar dry British style and voice.
Played this game since I got the beta in 2007. Had it installed on Kubuntu 22.04 but I’m having problems in 24.04. I think I’ll work on it this weekend.
That aside, I hope Shattered Sun is linux compatible.
PopOS for me and with this repo I was able to play a few games without any issues yesterday
You know I really want to use PopOS because I support what they do. I just really like KDE. I’ll keep an eye on their Cosmic desktop though.
I love Supcom, but haven’t played it in a few years. Gotta try this!
These scripts made it super easy! I had a couple issues, but the troubleshooting at the bottom already had both of them covered and I was up and playing in minutes!
