Finally, the age of having to compile Unreal Engine to use it in Linux has officially come to an end.

sweet can't wait to spend more time working on bugs with the engine than my actual product.

every time you make a change to the engine with c++ you have to recompile everything, even on windows. This is the worst engine imaginable.

Is it legal to make a Flatpak package of it?

>legal
the worst that can happen is they'll tell you to stop
And they probably won't as long as you aren't pretending it's official or anything

The same Apple that banned Epic?

Things aren't really good between Epic and Apple right now. I'm not sure Epic is in any hurry to support it anytime soon considering it already works through Rosetta 2. If they do, that would be pretty great, but I wouldn't hold my breath expecting it in the immediate future.

Considering the Flatpak will probably just link to their site, not really.

What's the point? If you use closed source proprietary software in Linux, you're missing the point.

I thought Linux is a serious platform for working professionals, not an autist sandbox?

It's both, but the autists are more vocal

Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure 100% of the UE source code is available without any binary blobs, it's just released with a proprietary license.

Good luck finding a FOSS equivalent to UE5.

I mean, the community could have been doing this a loooong time ago. Just make a fork of Unreal, it will inherit the same permissions (require Epic linked account to access), make builds every few months and release them on github. You're just lazy fucks.

Try making engine changes on Unity and come back.

You're not supposed to and you dont have access to the source unless you pay
