Linux soon? That's amazing!! I wanted this with all my heart, but I never thought it would happen so fast! I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

A fully polished version, probably not soon. I have an early alpha that sort of works for basic functionality - it can launch X/staging/pure/standard forks of DOSBox. Haven't looked at shaders yet. You are free to have a play around with it - just remember it's very, very early, mostly broken and unfinished. Requires QT5 to be installed.

I tried to get it to work on Arch Linux with KDE Plasma, but I couldn't. Would it be possible to package it as an AppImage? That way, it would already include the necessary libraries, and it would be easier to test on any distribution.
If it's too much trouble, don't worry—we'll test it when support is more advanced.
Anyway, thank you very much, and keep up the good work!

I will have to investigate appimage. I tested on lubuntu with kde. I will try arch as well. I would like the distro to work on any modern linux with kde/qt5 installed.

In the meantime, I was able to get it working on Arch after installing the following:

pacman -S qt5-base
pacman -S qt5pas

It did not perform as well as on Lubuntu, making me think something else isn't set up right, but you should be able to load it up and play around a bit. I will try and have a more workable version soon.

If you are getting some other error even after installing the above, paste it in here so I can investigate. Cheers.
