Is there still going to be Linux support? (lemmy.world)

I know they mentioned they will release a native Linux version in the past, but I'm curious if we've heard any new information about it.

According to dev comments it's still in the works, just waiting for Vulkan support (I know it was mentioned during one ISC or Friday Q&A, maybe on Spectrum as well). Depending on how fast the porting work goes we might see some movement on that be the end this or early next year (though that's just my speculation).

I'll see if I can dig up an official comment.

Edit: Here's a Spectrum post from 2022 from Silvan, the main (?) graphics guy. I'm pretty sure the video comment was newer than that but I don't have time to trudge through those right now.

Thanks for the info :)

No problem, There's a decent amount of linux players within both the community and dev team itself, so I'm relatively optimistic about it coming out. It's more realistic than VR support at least.
