@thingsiplay @Midnitte
Facepunch cant even decide if it's going to be fully supported on linux. I got several conflicting answers.

The community and staff are an unmoderated toxic pile of **** anyway. I think it's going to flop for that reason alone.

Very disappointing.

    Disappointing to read that. But I think its a little bit too early to make a definitive mind yet. At least this is Open Source, so people want to make it work on Linux. Sadly even without Linux support I do not think it would flop (I know you wish to lol). It would be sad if Garry's Mod does not work on Steam Machine.

    @thingsiplay I don't want #sbox to fail, I've been looking forward to it and #Source2 for a very long time.

    ...But not at the larger cost of spawning an unmoderated platform where hate and abuse can fester.

    #garrynewman seems to be of the mind that he can do no wrong, when in fact he is taking the company in a new direction. With that comes new responsibility which he and his staff refuse to manage or plan for, despite many users giving the same feedback: "We need moderation"

    I don't think sbox should fail if it does not support Linux. But if it ends up locking games and the developers behind Windows, then I don't want it to become popular.

    @thingsiplay At the moment you are forced to run the game through proton/wine on Linux.

    I was told by a staff (rudely) the tools would be forever windows only.
    (but again got conflicting answers)

    I was not able to set up a cohesive dev environment with the tools under proton/wine.
