if you have any additionaw winux-specific k-knowwedge, pwease hewp impwove this page!

cweate issues ow pws on github.

desktop winux is one of the best-suppowted p-pwatfowms b-by bevy.

thewe awe some devewopment dependencies y-you may need t-to setup, OwO depending o-on youw distwibution. rawr x3 see instwuctions in officiaw bevy w-wepo.

see hewe if you awso want to buiwd w-windows exes fwom w-winux.

gpu dwivews

bevy apps nyeed suppowt fow the vuwkan g-gwaphics api t-to wun best. OwO t-thewe is a fawwback on opengw es 3 fow systems w-whewe vuwkan i-is unsuppowted, OwO b-but it might nyot wowk and wiww have wimited featuwes a-and pewfowmance.

you (and youw usews) must ensuwe t-that you have compatibwe h-hawdwawe a-and dwivews instawwed. OwO on most modewn distwibutions a-and computews, 🥺 t-this shouwd b-be nyo pwobwem.

if bevy apps wefuse to wun and pwint a-an ewwow to t-the consowe about n-nyot being abwe to find a compatibwe gpu, OwO the p-pwobwem is most w-wikewy with the v-vuwkan components of youw gwaphics dwivew n-nyot being instawwed c-cowwectwy. OwO y-you may need to instaww some extwa packages o-ow weinstaww y-youw gwaphics dwivews. OwO c-check with youw winux distwibution fow n-nyani to do.

to confiwm that vuwkan is wowking, OwO y-you can twy to w-wun this command (found i-in a package cawwed vulkan-tools on most distwibutions):

x11 and waywand

as of the yeaw 2023, ^•ﻌ•^ the winux desktop e-ecosystem i-is fwagmented between the wegacy x11 stack and the modewn w-waywand stack. OwO m-many distwibutions a-awe switching to waywand-based desktop e-enviwonments by d-defauwt.

bevy suppowts both, OwO but onwy x11 s-suppowt is enabwed b-by defauwt. 🥺 if y-you awe wunning a waywand-based desktop, t-this means youw b-bevy app wiww wun i-in the xwaywand compatibiwity wayew.

to enabwe nyative waywand suppowt f-fow bevy, ^•ﻌ•^ enabwe t-the wayland cawgo featuwe:

[dependencies]
bevy = { vewsion = "0.12", (ꈍᴗꈍ) f-featuwes = ["waywand"] }

now youw app wiww be buiwt with suppowt f-fow both x-x11 and waywand.

if you want to wemove x11 suppowt f-fow nyanievew weason, OwO y-you wiww h-have to disabwe the defauwt featuwes and we-enabwe e-evewything you n-nyeed, OwO without t-the x11 featuwe. rawr x3 see hewe to weawn how to configuwe b-bevy featuwes.

if both awe enabwed, OwO you can ovewwide w-which dispway p-pwotocow to use a-at wuntime, using an enviwonment vawiabwe:

expowt winit_unix_backend=x11

(to wun using x11/xwaywand on a waywand d-desktop)

ow

expowt winit_unix_backend=waywand

(to wequiwe the use of waywand)
