Hiya!
Here is a list of the distros we tested on our test PC and the game was working on (mostly 24.04 LTS versions with X11):
TLDR: Most desktops and distros work out of the box, some require switching session to Xorg (Gnome), some work with little workarounds (Cinnamon - taskbar covers legs) and some don't (Wayland only distros).
Game works on X11 desktops only, does NOT work on Wayland! (By design Wayland does not allow the game to get info about cursor position)
ADDITIONAL FIX: If you are experiencing Dotami-vrm becoming black (losing transparency) when launching certain games try this:
- go to System Settings -> Display and Monitor -> Compositor, and uncheck "Allow applications to block compositing" - what it does is simply prevent games and apps from disabling visual effects on system windows, like transparency.
Best option is to download the demo and see if it works fine on your specific system!
- Ubuntu (Gnome) - ☑️ you need to switch session to Xorg from Wayland!
- Kubuntu (KDE) - ☑️
- Lubuntu (lxqt) - ☑️
- Xubuntu (xfce) - ☑️
- Ubuntu (Mate) - ☑️ - fixed now!
- Ubuntu Budgie - 🟰 works on multiple monitors now, but requires a little workaround: after pressing the switch screen button it will appear as if the character did not switch the screen visually - click or double click on your second monitor, Ii should make the character jump there (weird I know... but works better than before though...)
- Linux Mint (Cinnamon) and Ubuntu Cinnamon -☑️ - taskbar covers character's legs despite game calling proper functions to be on top, otherwise works (move taskbar to the top of the screen?) - now should work on multiple monitors
- Ubuntu Unity - ☑️
- Zorin OS - ☑️ - the half transparent middle placed taskbar covers character's legs, but otherwise works.
Best test with your own setup using the free DEMO version first (there are just so many different distros and desktops).
By working i mean all the functions and features included in the Linux build work as intended, the Linux build does not have window sitting, instead you can spawn pillows that you can move around and sit the characters on, and taskbar sit height has to be adjusted manually! The rest is the same between both builds.
