Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

HeY!!! I just wrote a new post into the "thank you" thread about what I just did... a .deb package for Debian.

Do you need me to do the same for Ubuntu? Does it already work on that OS?

Thanks!

Enjoy!

BTW... haven't tested it yet, but I will :3

Just an advice... DON'T USE WINDOWS, IT'S A LOSS OF TIME. I say this by my own experience c:
Besides... be careful, this "OSes Battle" is being won by Linux, everyday, more and more.

But the most important part of all of this... is that performance in Linux is by far, superior than windows and a bit superior than Mac (OSX is great, though).

Hmmm... I'm not a mature person LOL... just... maybe a Linux fanboy :3... so... use whatever you want to use, but keep supporting gaming, one of the most underrated arts of history (and that's just because it's new ).

I would be great if you could share your process for making a .deb file so that we can look at it.
Our current Linux buildbot used to build for Ubuntu 15.04, but it either broke or was purposely turned off after 5.0 stable came out. I don't really know.

Because shits and giggles:

I think we'll see that change, with Linux and Windows having the exact same performance using the Vulkan API and OSX just rotting away.

We stopped distributing debs for a few reasons:

1. Targeting one version of one distro is not a good way to distribute software.

2. Maintaining it is a pain in the ass when the things we want to use changes so rapidly and distros all vary in what they have available in their repository. In the case of Ubuntu, if we're already having users install a PPA just to install the package we distribute, that's pretty bad.

3. This is just nicer and easier to point users to the wiki where we document the process on how to compile dolphin for several distros.

Also, as of right now, 1.3% of our analytic reporting users use Dolphin on Linux. That may be slightly influenced by not distributing debs, but I doubt by much anyways because our old debs were pretty dumb and broken. Maintaining that is just... Not worth the pain in the ass?

@FelipeWii, there's already a PPA for Ubuntu...
