installing/launching on linux? (i don't know anything!)
« on: December 06, 2017, 11:26:07 PM »

hi hey all,

a couple of months ago, i installed ubuntu in a fit of pique and i've been more or less fine with these new trappings i haven't even feigned comprehending. inevitable predicament being is that i've finally come against an issue i'm not content to instantly wither away from.

so: regarding the screen below, i flatly do not see a place to launch or install proper starsector on this computer. does it have anything to do with the terminal? i'm unable to just switch to windows. i would tremendously appreciate any support with this.

all the best !!
