An interesting and important look at the development of Factorio’s Linux-native port from an actual developer: the platform in general, Wayland, GNOME’s bullshit, and dependencies.

    Plasma has server side decorations under Wayland. While it’s admirable to wanting to support as many desktops as possible, I think it’s also fine for games developers to say “we support SteamOS – its Game Mode and its desktop mode”. Both are built on standard APIs and if a specific desktop doesn’t care to implement standards, sucks to be them.
