I loved CnC Generals (of course I played as China), hope this will ported to debian-like systems.

I was obsessed with Red Alert 2 and went out and bought CnC Generals the day it came out, came home excited to play and my cheap ass family computer couldn't run it and I never got to play it.

Sorry to hear that, I can recommend Generals wholeheartedly. But you probably need Windows 7 to run it, unfortunately.

Not sure about Debian, but it's the openra package on Arch Linux

Edit: They have instructions for all the different distros at https://openra.net/download/

I prefer MX Linux to Arch, but anyway, thanks Comrade!

I like to play as GLA, they have such a great postal service. Also the GLA has the best faction soundtrack

[-] lemat_87@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 1 year ago

That's right, they are nice to play, but do not have the best TANKS, as China :)

I don't think you have to wait - there are AppImages, Flatpaks, and even Deb's for Ubuntu available. Surely one of those will work on your Debian system?

Oh I will try when I get some spare time to enjoy the game, thank you.

On my MX Linux, package not found; maybe the command works on Ubuntu or it needs some repositories to enable first.

You can go the snap route too, if you're into that:

https://snapcraft.io/install/openra/debian

Enable snapd

On Debian 9 (Stretch) and newer, snap can be installed directly from the command line:

sudo apt update

sudo apt install snapd

sudo snap install core

Install OpenRA

To install OpenRA, simply use the following command:

sudo snap install openra
