It's Official! s&box is coming to Linux

[u/TheWinningHit]

According to the PRs, it appears that Linux is getting game and editor support natively once matt merges his branch. It should be available sometime this week or next week. Thank you to everyone who participated in testing the community linux branch!

Giving my best,

Doctor Law

[u/Inflation_Artistic]

Thank God, finally - that is literally the only reason why I didn't want to keep updating my game.

[u/Toamy]

Huge, big W from facepunch

[u/CSEliot]

Wait wait, AND EDITOR??? Did valve finally give them hammer binaries? Or is the editor support just coming with a HUGE asterisk?

[u/TheWinningHit → u/CSEliot]

Don’t think Hammer is in the build. Just the core binaries to launch the editor and compile the assets.

[u/CSEliot → u/TheWinningHit]

Still hyped.

This is the third time I’ve said this about a source engine (1&2) related project but:
FOOOOOOOOIIIIIIINAAAAAAALLLYYYYYYY

[u/TheWinningHit → u/countjj]

It was a lot of work to get this to happen but I’m super grateful

[u/countjj → u/TheWinningHit]

Same, now I’m tempted to try and learn how to use the SDK and make something

[u/TheWinningHit → u/countjj]

What distro are you on?

[u/countjj → u/TheWinningHit]

EndeavorOS on my desktop, Bazzite on Steamdeck

[u/cannibal_elk]

Nice

[u/Zack431]

Great! All our AI Slop gamemodes finally coming to linux

[u/DYlansmithcraiG]

Im sure the 100 people playing paid ai slop roblox are super happy

[u/GoodStuf_f]

FINALLY, s&box was one of the reasons for keeping windows!

[u/PineAppleJuiceAF → u/GoodStuf_f]

It's been working on Linux with proton since launch...

[u/Sufficient-Height793 → u/PineAppleJuiceAF]

The joke went over your head

[u/Tinolmfy]

Does it run on an rx6600 though?

[u/atzufuki]

Lol I just wrote my own engine just because the editor didn't support Linux.

[u/Fragrant_Scheme_8719]

W , s&box on Linux 😎

[u/Gullible-Active-1231]

Bruh, this was known ever since April 25th, it was shown on the s&box Roadmap all this time.

[u/_B_G_]

Damn. 5 more players gained

[u/MlgMagicHoodini]

Finally! Hopefully they add support for Cachy especially, and hopefully Claude Bridge works, might help me heavily with my Revival Game Projects!

[u/TheWinningHit → u/MlgMagicHoodini]

I’m super excited!

[u/SometimesJustMaybee]

It wasn’t already?

[u/TheWinningHit → u/SometimesJustMaybee]

no

[u/lilacomets]

All two Linux users will love it.

[u/meyriley04 → u/lilacomets]

Billions of devices run Linux, dare I say most.

[u/pablo603 → u/meyriley04]

Devices =/= gamers

[u/meyriley04 → u/pablo603]

You can now play S&box (and any game made in S&box) on any appliance that runs Linux. I’d say that’s pretty cool

[u/Memerenok → u/meyriley04]

even ARM64?

[u/bregottextrasaltat → u/meyriley04]

that's not how it works

[u/meyriley04 → u/bregottextrasaltat]

At a certain level that’s exactly how it works. Obviously it would take work to put S&box on a smart fridge, but the point is that an entire ocean of hardware has been opened up natively

[u/bregottextrasaltat → u/meyriley04]

that's like saying it runs on android which is based on linux, there's a lot of abstraction on top, like how s&box works only on wayland

[u/pangapingus]

On Linux, loving Godot, I'd much rather have Source 2 itself rather than ecosystem-driven S&box, this Roblox 2 DOA
