Recently decided to try Linux for gaming. It wasn’t without a hitch or two, but largely fine. A number of games I play don’t even need an emulation tool like Proton.

The only reason windows was lying around was for gaming.

Looks like it’ll only get used for flight simulation.

Haven’t. Will check it out! Thanks.

Not a lot of updates in 2024 unfortunately. Is it dead?

[-] 14th_cylon@lemm.ee 10 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

It is not. It is open source, there will be updates when there will be updates, they are not pressured by board of directors to release something that doesn't work.

I suggest checking the discord for more information, including endless stream of screenshots, to get an idea about state of the project.

I have edited the comment above to add link

This random git repo I picked from their source forge page seems to have some pretty recent commits. I'm guessing they just have a slow release cycle.

X-plane natively supports Linux, works using proton too.

I’d stoped flying x plane when MSFS came out. Will give it a whirl too.

Same here but for sim racing

Barring Gamefreaks games, most of the popular racing games do not support Linux well. Forza 4/5, Asseto Corsa, iRacing, Crew.
