I just got a copy of Homeworld (original) for linux.. Haven’t gotten around to installing it yet, but I may have to do a few tweaks to get it running.

I used to love that game (on XP).

There was never a Homeworld for Linux that I’m aware of. Homeworld 2 was the only version that had an original Mac version that I’m aware of. Cataclysm was PC only.

Gearbox bought the rights from relic, and remastered in in HD. Aspyr did the MAC port of the gearbox code. So far both have said no Linux version in the works. I used to play it on my Thinkpad, which ran Linux, inside a virtualbox VM running Windows 2000.

The reboot looks fantastic on the 55” HDTV.
