I get the meme, but it's bittersweet since Jagex is ending Linux support with their new launcher. It's only a matter of time before they break WINE compatibility even more. Sad.

Where did you see that they're ending support? Last time I checked they have a temporary workaround for Linux while they fix compatibility issues

[-] kogasa@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

On their official support page about playing on Linux, it says "we will not support Linux." "Their" workaround (which the community found) involves using a Windows vm to unpack the installer, but like I said, it's a matter of time.

Is that gonna break Runelite or just the first party launcher?

[-] kogasa@programming.dev 0 points 1 year ago

Once you switch to a Jagex account, you can only ever use the first-party launcher to log in, even with Runelite. You can't switch back. Switching to a Jagex account will eventually become mandatory, and at some point they will kill off Runelite too in favor of the C++ client.

Oh man, yeah that really sucks. Jagex needs to sort that out.

But no way will they kill Runelite, surely. The community would flip out worse than anything Jagex has seen!

[-] kogasa@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

They would. I don't think they'll kill it for a while yet, but the C++ client was always intended to eventually replace Runelite. Which is a bummer for all the community plugins that won't ever exist in the C++ client (including one I wrote to make notifications useful on non-Windows platforms), but not as much of a bummer as when the launcher inevitably stops working in WINE.
