WOW! Is this real?
Orbiter is actually really meeting Arch!!
I mean, it's just both on this planet
, but it's even more than that too me.
For
years I have been playing with Orbiter on Windows. In recent years, I became a total Linux geek too (especially Arch).
And I also have already experimented with my existing Orbiter 2016 instance in Wine, which already worked almost seamlessly with really decent performance (it worked using a DirectX to Vulcan port if I am right), with only some really small tweaks.
But clearly what we are talking about here looks like a native Linux build (ELF instead of EXE) from the Beta open source version if I am seeing it correctly. That's really amazing (Still
many credits go to Martin Schweiger for all his years of work of course! And amazing too is the fact that he decided to share his code with the community and make it open source, not everyone would do that).
However, can I ask a question? The thing is, installing from AUR is great, but this generally installs Orbiter on in a centralized way on your system.
On Windows I am used to the fact that I can maintain multiple copies from Orbiter in separate directories.
What options do I have for this on Linux? Can I maintain multiple instances? (What I now about many Linux binaries is that these are often built and linked to specific library paths that cannot be changed, but maybe I can still have multiple user configurations or something like that?).
