[q]Packaging on linux is a nightmare, the commands to install dependencies and run on ubuntu is going to be different to each different distro, and often break with new versions. That's why things like flatpak exist. Flatpak is possibly the best bet.[/q]

Steam more or less works. The largest source of issues is, as usual, having to drag mono because the wrapper layer ("ChobbyLa"), that does things that chobby the in-engine Lua lobby can't do, is written in c#. It's mostly a back-end program that listens to connections from Spring, launches Spring, copies some files, etc. The only GUI it does is display the loading window.

(On the other hand, every Unity game drags mono along and they seem okay)

Rewriting
it
in
something
that's
easier
to
port
would
in
fact
be
nice,
but
this
also
means
that
someone
-
presumably
the
person
writing
it
-
would
have
to
[i]maintain[/i]
it.
Which
means
that
"vegan
dude
writes
it
in
a
weekend
and
then
never
has
time
again"
is
probably
a
bad
choice.

There are not that many linux users, but the ones that exist tend to have better conversion rates due to ZK's innate alignment with the "open source" religion.
