There hasn't been much information as of late on support for a Linux version of Star Citizen. Are there still plans to bring SC to the Linux platform?asked by Gingen
TL;DRLinux client support is blocked by the lack of a usable OpenGL graphics driver, though servers already run on Linux, and CIG is looking at OpenGLNext and DX12 but has higher priorities.
We run all of our servers on Linux, we basically compile all of Star Citizen on Linux for those machines, but the issue with having it run as a client is graphics drivers. We don't have an Open GL .dll driver at the moment, crytek was working on one, but they haven't managed to get it to a state where anyone is happy with the performance being acceptable. It's also the reason we've not got working versions for mac. Longer term we're looking at openGL next and having conversations with various parties about supporting OpenGLNext such as AMD on the graphics card side. That's something we're looking at along with DX12, so OpenGLNext would allow us to consider things like Linux support as I'm sure they'll move to OpenGLNext too. And of course if CryTek manages to get their implementation of the current OpenGL working we'll look at it too. That's really what's been blocking us for the moment. Everything else runs in Linux, and lots of people here love it, but unfortunately we have a lot of things that take higher priority.
