Playing Visual Novels on GNU/Linux
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.comfysnug.space/post/138679
> We've been working on a guide to help players on all major GNU/Linux distributions play visual novels for the past few weeks. This guide is designed to be used by both beginners and experts, with minimal need to touch the command line. > > openSUSE wins the award for "never had to touch the terminal" and "simplest setup instructions", but Fedora is a close second. > > While there are a few existing visual novel guides for GNU/Linux around, we've tried to fill in the gaps we noticed. We've put a lot of research into this guide and ensured it is accurate while remaining simple and approachable. > > If you're interested, start here! > > We have an extensive Troubleshooting section on our Problems page if you're having trouble getting visual novels to work, too. > > --- > > I wrote this guide with a lot of help from two other people, including /u/[email protected].

Seiya-Saiga lists whether a physical VN runs "diskless", or without DRM
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.comfysnug.space/post/88408
> Today I learned that Saiya-Saiga has a ディスクレス field for all the visual novels listed on the site. The field essentially labels whether the release is encumbered by DRM or not; whether it performs a check to ensure the disk is in the drive on first startup. > > If the developer has provided a DRM-removal patch, as in the case of August with Aiyoku no Eustia, that is also listed with a link to download it. > > This should be very useful for players looking for DRM-Free releases.

Community Wiki

> Per https://lemmy.comfysnug.space/post/22200, I have gone and made a DokuWiki that we as a community can build together. I, unfortunately, know very little about what specifically I'm doing with wiki software, particularly when it comes to making things look pretty. > > For now, the to-do list looks like: > - make sure others can sign up and contribute > - initialize visualnovels namespace with placeholder content > - pull in / rewrite content suggested in https://lemmy.comfysnug.space/comment/92413 > > I look forward to working together with all of you!
