Come on guys! The game clearly state that it works on Windows and Mac OS X. If you want Linux support ask for it on the forums. Writing a 1 star review just because the game doesn't support the OS you're using is pathetic.

I've never played any of the Samorost games. Thought they do look interesting. However I do want to talk about this. Linux is something I was interested in learning but there are two main reasons I don't want to. 1. it's really hard to work with offline and 2 the community. They are the kind of people that will hate games and companies for not natively supporting an OS that's used by 2% of the population and is hard to get working offline.

Yeah, i share your concerns about this kind of "community" and as a Linux user for more then 10 Years i'm very sorry that this will hold you back to try something different.

But i can't figure it out why Linux should be harder to use "offline" then MacOS X, or Windows XP and upwards.
I know, most Linux distributions come with one CD for the basic installation and download everything from the internet afterwards.

Windows also comes only with the basic operating system and the internet explorer on the DVD. Afterwards they urge you to download the Live-Package to get an E-Mail App, you have to download an PDF Viewer, and so on. (On most PCs this stuff came preinstalled by the manufacturer)

AFAIK MacOS comes with much more useful applications out of the box, but urges you to sign in with an AppleID to purchase and download more software.

At least Debian offers full CD/DVD Image-sets, so you can install Apps and Games without an internet connection.

So in my opinion Linux is here as much offline friendly as their competition.

Last but not least it's more online friendly then Windows. Every Linux distribution has an package manager that handles software updates in one place. Compare this to "Windows Update" + Firefox Updater + Adobe Updater + Oracle/Sun Java Updater + many other update services for many other software (Steam, gog galaxy, AMD Driver)

The only thing that comes to my mind, why you would need more online access in linux then on an Mac, or under windows is knowledge and help. Even the user-friendly Ubuntu will need some tinkering and advanced knowledge. So as a newcomer you will need access to a user-forum to meet the mentioned community you are afraid of.

I should've been more specific but thanks for your input. The things I needed Linux to do required me to not only learn terminal but also be able to write a bash script for terminal in order to make it do what I wanted it to do.

What I wanted to be able to do was simple download programs. (That's download not install) and take them with me. There's a few ways to do this, but all of them require an understanding of both Terminal, Aptitude Package Manager and the Linux file structure for it to work.

I’ll show you what I mean.

In LINUX

Method 1. From a live usb install all updates and programs you want, then copy all of the .debs from /var/cache/apt/archives and install them with dpkg -*.deb (do this twice to make sure they go in properly.)

Method 2.
For offline updates
From terminal use “sudo apt-get update” then use either “sudo apt-get –download-only upgrade” or “sudo apt-get –download-only dist-upgrade”

Then sudo move the .debs into a folder and use dpkg to install them.

For programs use either aptitude search “program” or apt-cache search “program” to find what you need and then use sudo apt-get -d install “program”

Create a folder for the program and then sudo move all .debs from /var/cache/apt/archives into said folder and use dpkg to install it.

In WINDOWS

Double click .exe DONE

Online friendly, sure offline friendly, not so much.

This is why I don’t like using Linux and when I try to explain this to other Linux users I usually get an attitude.

Also keep in mind how difficult this is for a first time user. A first time user won’t even know what a package manager even is let alone things like debs, archives, apt-get, dpkg. All jargon to them.

All Linux needs is some of kind of .exe equivalent. I for one would be very happy about that.

No, it would not be done with 'an .exe equivalent', we have that. The problem is with the libraries and with the shared library vs. static library model.

What we need is for developers to work cross-platform right from the start. Amanita did, sort of. They went the web-way, and at the time used flash.
The problem is that flash is horrible and about to die horribly. Then they switched to AIR, which is flash plus some more proprietary adobe crap. AIR never quite took off, but they are still using it in 2016, and it is no longer cross platform.
If they wish to stick with web stuff, they should have switched to html5 a couple of years ago, but they didn't.
I fear the Amanita programmer never learned anything but flash (and then AIR).

There would be plenty of other options around, the amanita games are technically simple, you could do them in literally any platform out there. Flash was a bad choice, AIR was a worse choice. I am not holding my breath for Linux support in their next game and I am not going to buy this one.
Well, maybe, once I KNOW that it works well in WINE and it got a whole lot cheaper.

i get Samorost 2 working today on ubuntu 18.04 with flatpak flash player...

Samorost 2 actually is a html file includes a swf file, try install Flash and open that file in browser should work.

The solution is gog actually taking their review section seriously and moderating it accordingly, and giving us the ability to edit our reviews. They want a clown show review system, they got it.
