From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

So I tried VoxelLibre recently and I have three main papercuts:

The lack of dual wielding (and perhaps crits and other Combat Update things).
Shift clicking items doesn't do the same thing as Minecraft in a lot of cases. Shift clicking armour doesn't equip it, for example.
I think sometimes there's a keyboard combination for opening the inventory (shift+I?) that I keep accidentally hitting when I try to move.

Still, it's an interesting project and Iook forward to how it continues.

Voxel libre isn't Minetest. It runs on the Minetest engine but it is separate.
