Native Linux Support for FiveM — It’s Time

I am entitled to my own opinion just as you are :slight_smile:

Most of this entire thread has felt like a cesspool of online degeneracy. This started out as someone’s dream to have FiveM, a windows exclusive application, available on Linux. And it ended up drifting into what feels like a Reddit argument. I’m starting to question what you guys are really fighting for. Aren’t we all on the same team? Windows sucks, I’d hardly say that statement is debatable. If FiveM supported Linux, it would gain CFX more players (the current Linux community), and Windows users that have cut Linux out due to FiveM or others being unsupported on Linux can make the switch. Does that not benefit everyone? Am I missing something here?

Genuinely, how did this become a massive fight over several months? If all the people that put their thoughts in have agreed that Windows is going downhill, then what are you fighting for? Having this addition benefits FiveM with more users, the Linux community for not needing to dual-boot for the ability to play, and the Windows community could start moving over to Linux if things like this were the nail in the coffin. Everyone gets a slice of this pie. Can’t we agree on that?

agreed, both those idiots arguing are the worst examples of either side of this discussion

So… from the lot of talk I can see here, I take it this isn’t the place to figure out HOW to get RedM to work on my Steam Deck, since I try to launch the installer with proton and I get nothing.

No need to search on “how to run it”, since it simply won’t. FiveM (and RedM’s) anticheat is not compatible with Wine / Proton

Yeah, found that out the hard way after taking an hour or so to look into it while i was downloading RDR2 onto my Deck. And now I’m sad. Mainly because my Deck is my only “desktop” at the moment, and then my replacement will be the new Steam Machine, which is still based in Arch Linux, so I can’t win either way. My only windows PC killed itself when i left it running when i went to work last year in the summer, and it was left idling in my house with an ambient temp of 100+*F at the time.
