bro why no one compiles from linux

I’ve though about doing a linux build since I switched myself, it should be feasible. It does require a bit of work though and I’ve not touched the sources in years. Maybe a bit later this year when I gather enough motivation.

Oh I can do it myself, I’m on arch. I can even create an AUR reponif you want. It’s just a remark, no offense, because no one thinks about Linux. This year, it got 5% market share on desktop.

If that’s something you want to do, have fun. I’m not well versed in C++ and Qt, I think it should mostly be a matter of CMake because the few dependencies should be available for linux.

It’s true that in the past, I would not do linux builds, partly because theses projects are for my personal enjoyments, partly because I dread having to fix some issues I don’t understand.

I would expect the linux share to grow a bit in the future thanks to Microsoft being especially bad and the proton emulation being especially effective. That’s what motivated me.
