An EVE on Linux community Discord

EVE Technology and Research Center Linux

Hi, I’m chloroken, I make EVE videos but also love Linux.

Merging both interests, I’ve created a community to ask questions, share knowledge, and talk about EVE on Linux. Even though EVE is not officially supported by CCP and probably never will be, many players do play on Linux anyway. This is a group for them.

If you’re curious about how to get started with EVE on Linux, want tips on how to optimize your performance, are looking for a multiboxing solution, or are a Windows 10 refugee, come by and say hi!

For those looking to make the switch, its a great place to get information on getting EVE running along with the various tools we all use.

And when things break, you have a support group! :smiley:

It’s now easier than ever to make the switch! :grin:

I would advocate to use the already established “Launcher on Linux, here be Dragons” thread on the official EVE Online Discord instead of having yet another discord.

Thank you for the advocacy, but a thread buried in the official Discord that hasn’t had a single message sent in over a week is not sufficient for us. We have channels devoted to platform-specific guides, distro-based roles, dedicated help channels, and more.

This new Discord is already super active and has helped a bunch of people get started with playing EVE on Linux. We’re super friendly and happy to work with even complete newbies. Come say hi, don’t be shy. <3

I am on enough Discord servers that are super active and friendly, funny how some of them would describe a single message in a week as a great spike in activity by now.
Official CCP channels like this forum or the Discord make it easier for both CCP devs and new players. I agree that the current thread is not easy to find, but everyone going somewhere else will not increase visibility either.
And of course the long term goal should be a channel/section on the official CCP Discord for space faring penguins.

CCP does not support Linux. There is no official space for it and never will be. Even this forum is vestigial. Your thoughts are noted — please stop derailing the thread.

This server rules. We’ve helped lots of folks get started with EVE on Linux already. It’s really been a treat. Come say hi. :slight_smile:

Discord discussions have been successful in excluding non-English speakers and those who arrive via web search.

We are pleased that lively discussions have been able to take place there, supported by a small number of dedicated fans.

1. Documents are located in places that cannot be searched online.

2. Full-text search within Discord is also not possible.

3. Web translation is not available, making the lengthy text difficult for non-English speakers to read.

4. Only a small number of “well-versed” people can participate, so there is no disruption.

5. Should we just ignore the complaints of those who find it difficult to participate?

I totally agree, the official discord is not the place to have discussions about linux and eve because it doesn’t provide the platform for help and discussion at all.

So having a dedicated discord for those is appriciated.
