This is a very early working version of s&box on Linux without Proton. The fork is now publicly available — you're welcome to open issues for any "this doesn't work on my distro" problems.

Please read the README for the Anvil tool installed by bootstrap before running the game.

** The Editor is Windows-only forever per Facepunch. We will not respond to requests about it. This is not to be mean, we empathize with you, but it's simply beyond the scope of our project. If you would like resources to get it running in Proton we have made patches available and you can contact me.

I have been working on the game to work natively on Linux. It needs a lot of work to patch the filesystem and runtime bugs, but I have been able to get it to connect to most servers and correctly route the filesystem to the correct paths because Linux is case sensitive. Thought I'd share for any Linux users who were curious about the game engine being ported to Linux. I will post the fork soon when it's mostly usable.
