When will the Linux version of INSOMNIA: The Ark be available on GOG
Yes it is coming, this is from the Kickstarter roadmap:

Will there be a console version of the game?
That’s a distinct possibility—particularly with the advent of powerful next-gen consoles such as the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4. Creating console versions of InSomnia largely depends on the total budget for the game. Once the game is funded (and if we secure any additional funding), we should be able to make a decision. In the meantime, we are committing to PC, Mac, and Linux releases.

It's on my wish list and I can't wait to enjoy it.
Thank you Mono Studio :-D

You shouldn't expect a Linux version. They have only a few team members left, who are slowly creating another patch to fix glitches when they have extra time. In the message you shared, they said they would consider console versions if they have extra money, but they didn't gain enough money, and they didn't gain enough money for Mac and Linux versions either. They assumed they would at least get enough money for Mac and Linux versions, so they seemed sure when they wrote that message, but they didn't. You should either use a Windows computer, and try to enjoy this game as it is now, with a slight possibility of another patch eventually, or just ignore this game and search for others to play.

I hope you won't be offended, but I want to say this:
You should consider installing Windows on a partition of your hard drive, to use just for games. Most large game companies won't create Linux versions, so you shouldn't be surprised when super low budget projects fail their hope to provide ports. You'll miss so many good games if you play only ones that have Linux ports. I used Linux exclusively for five years and felt so much better when I switched to Windows, because of the greater selection of games.

The game is probably at its final version, with a slight chance of one more patch, so if you're unhappy about how it is now, you should search for others to play.

I can't be offended by friendly advice, thanks for your message.
But going back to a system that chooses everything for me, forbids me to install the software I want.
No I really can't stand Windows anymore, if I don't find my happiness with PC games, I will turn to game consoles instead.
I prefer to have an operating system!
And have less games.

But you piqued my curiosity.
How was your return to Windows, was it not too difficult?
What was the most difficult thing for you?
I think for me it would be the ergonomics, the lack of native shortcuts, and also the aesthetics, I use Cinnamon, my interface is just beautiful, well for me ;-)

Every part of switching back to Windows felt better to me. I used Ubuntu for five years because my hard drive with Windows broke. Buying a replacement hard drive and using Linux allowed me to save money, instead of paying for a hard drive PLUS a copy of Windows. I became older and had more money, so I was able to afford a better computer with Windows. I hated every part of Linux except the greatly reduced chance of malware.

I felt horrible every time I wanted to use a program that didn't have a Linux version. I was aware of the existence of a tool called "WINE", which allows many programs designed for Windows to work within Linux, but it didn't work well for most programs that I tried. Every program or game that I've ever wanted to use has a Windows version, but very few have a Mac version, and even fewer have a Linux version. I hated that so much.

Really !!!
This time I feel a little offended ;-) lol
Seriously, I would never have believed sella possible, you are the first person who told me to have used Linux and to be happy to not use it anymore, and the more time passes the more people I know who use Linux.
The only ones who keep Windows as a second boot, is for their games, or by professional obligation.

I think I understand... you used Linux in the beginning, a long time ago?
I discovered Linux in 2015, and for games it's still not 100% OK today, but the most powerful programs are open source and so on Linux, you must not have used the right software, and all of them are made to work also on Windows, but the Microsoft system sometimes refuses to install them.
In addition, since Win10, the Linux kernel is part of the system, which means that cross-platform compatibility will further improve.

I used Ubuntu from 2011 to 2016. I know many important programs have Linux versions, like web browsers, but I often wanted to use programs or games that were less popular, or made for uncommon uses, and they didn't have Linux versions. This "Insomnia" game is very good, as my opinion, but I wouldn't have been able to try it if I hadn't switched to Windows. I've enjoyed many games during the past five years that don't have Linux versions.

An example:
I use a program called "iTunes" to create backups of a family member's iPhone. iTunes is not available for Linux. The family member cannot afford to switch to a different phone, and I wouldn't recommend a different type, because a novice user should have the extra security that iPhones provide.

Plus, I remember needing to use the Command Line when I wanted to do uncommon activities, and I needed to research uncommon commands. And some of the programs I wanted weren't in repositories. Some of them allowed me to add their repositories to my installation of Ubuntu, but the programs were older versions. If I wanted the newest versions, I needed to compile them myself. But the newest versions of those programs had pre-built binaries of the newest versions already available for Windows.

Even if Linux is much better now, it still won't have as many programs and games available as Windows has. Since Windows has such a large share of customers, it is the number one target for the release of desktop programs and games.

I just checked the download page for the driver for my HP printer. It doesn't have a Linux version.

And I checked the download page for the program from Lenovo that allows me to customize the functionality of the extra buttons of my mouse from that company. It doesn't have a Linux version.

And I checked the download page of the software for my battery backup device (to protect my desktop computer against power outages). It doesn't have a Linux version.

See? I would be very stressed right now if I would still have Linux and cannot use the software for my devices.

Sad to hear a Linux version won't be coming soon.

This conversation is interesting, it gives me explanations on why people are not more numerous to use an OS much more...

I understand better your bad experience (exception for HP), you have consumption habits that have not changed.
You buy a device and then look at how to make it work.
I have learned to do the opposite without even noticing it, it has become a habit, I check if it works and then I buy it.

I don't have a printer now, but with HP I haven't had any problems.
I have a Roccat mouse and keyboard, although not officially supported, but recommended on Linux forums, and without any surprise they are totally compatible, I also favor native Linux games, certainly for this same reason.
My experience with Linux is really the opposite of yours, the more time goes by, the more I get what I could never get on Windows.
And with the bluetooth which is part of the kernel unlike Windows, I had mostly good surprises, like buying a device and understanding why all works without having downloaded and installed the driver ?

I may have been lucky?
Maybe I had instinctively the right attitudes?
I have to remember from this conversation, not to insist if a person can't get what he wants with Linux, this person will be better off in his usual comfort, even after 5 years.

You have come to give an important information to your former TUX community, thank you very much for that my friend.
Together we are still a community of players ;-)
Thank you for not forgetting us, I appreciate it.
