[question to the developers] Concerns regarding GNU/Linux support

It’s tolerable that building for anything other than GNU/Linux and Android/Linux isn’t supported.
But dedicated server targeting isn’t available either, that’s bad.
And there’s no easy way to get the marketplace content.
And also GPU lightmap baking wasn’t and still isn’t supported.
And now Nanite and Lumen aren’t supported either.

Question: are you abandoning GNU/Linux support?

The problem is that features that are not supported are added much faster than features that wasn’t supported start being supported.

Am I being ignored?

I had been asking all these questions too as I had been an avid linux-ue user from few years.
think it is easier to get response from ::: u:s.g.o.v ::: than from epic :laughing: (using ‘change.org petitions’)
:crazy_face: can we linux developers file a petition there for this!
Also maybe another petition to nvidia to give nvapi/rasterizer for vulkan/linux (for nanite)

Joke aside, if you look through my previous post you will get answers for some of those questions.

I bumped a 9 years old post about better support launcher! Unreal launcher for linux?

After I heard about all the windows 11 drama, I was looking into switching back to linux, but all my work is in UE5 now and I’m heavily leaning on the new features. Hopefully EPIC devs get everything working on Linux.

By the developers.
I don’t think anyone but them could really answer the question.
