Re: Introduction for gaming packaging/maintaining

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi Andi,

the games you listed are proprietary and can thus not be shipped with
Fedora.

What you could do, is to try to improve the out of the box experience
when trying to install and play these games. But that is quite an
undertaking as that will require diving into the guts of wine.

My recommendation would be: find something in Fedora that annoys you or
that you think it lacks and try to work on that.


Cheers,

Dan
