Linux gives you choices, and installing doukutsu-rs is no different! Here are a few ways to get it running on your system, pick the one that sounds best for you:
If you're new to Linux or just want the simplest install, Flatpak is the way to go. It's like a universal app store for Linux!
Super Simple Commands: Just a single command in your terminal to install everything.
Always Up-to-Date: Flatpak usually gives you the latest version of doukutsu-rs automatically.
Safer Apps: Flatpak keeps apps isolated from the rest of your system, which is good for security.
If you like to keep things lean and mean, and want to run doukutsu-rs directly on your system, grab the native binary release.
No Extra Layers: Runs directly, so it can be a bit faster and use fewer resources.
Just Download and Run: Get the file from the official downloads page, make it runnable, and you're good to go!
Lightweight and Quick: Very straightforward setup without installing extra software.
Sometimes, things don't just work. If you have trouble with the native Linux version, or if you're using a less common type of Linux, Wine or Proton can be your friend. These tools let you run Windows programs on Linux!
Fallback Option: If the native version isn't cooperating, the Windows version often works smoothly through Wine/Proton.
Good Compatibility: Uses the well-tested Windows system stuff (Win32 ABI), which can sometimes be more reliable across different Linux setups.
Might Help with Uncommon Linux: If your Linux isn't based on glibc (which is common) or if there are weird version issues, Wine/Proton can sometimes bypass these problems.
For the adventurous types who like to tinker and have full control, compiling from source is the ultimate Linux experience!
Total Customization: You build the game exactly for your system, tweaking settings as you go.
Latest and Greatest: You can often get the very latest, cutting-edge code directly from the developers.
Learn More: You'll get a much deeper understanding of how doukutsu-rs works under the hood (if you're into that!).
Which Method Should You Choose?
Each method has its pros and cons, reflecting the flexibility of Linux!
For most users, Flatpak is the recommended and easiest option.
If you prefer a more direct approach, the native binary is great.
Wine/Proton is a solid backup plan if you run into issues.
Compiling from source is for advanced users who want maximum control and are comfortable with a bit more work.
No matter which way you choose, have fun playing doukutsu-rs on Linux!
