Full Dark Forces support, including mods.If you don't want to compile the code, it might be better to use Windows for now or wait for version 1.10. In addition, a Flatpak/snap (or similar) package is planned for version 1.10, alleviating the need to manually compile the project.

For now, you will need to compile from source in order to run Linux. Linux is now supported but it requires additional setup. Dark Forces and Outlaws are owned by Disney and are still active, commercial products.
