I loved CnC Generals (of course I played as China), hope this will ported to debian-like systems.

    I was obsessed with Red Alert 2 and went out and bought CnC Generals the day it came out, came home excited to play and my cheap ass family computer couldn't run it and I never got to play it.

    Sorry to hear that, I can recommend Generals wholeheartedly. But you probably need Windows 7 to run it, unfortunately.

    @ProxyTheAwesome@hexbear.net You can install GenPatcher on Windows to give Generals a more modern experience similar to the spirit of OpenRA, but it seems people are having difficulty running Generals with GenPatcher through wine/proton on Linux. You would probably need to virtualize Windows and run the game that way. If you want to run Generals alone, Lutris should have some scripts.

    I'm not sure if any of these links will work for you:

    On my MX Linux, package not found; maybe the command works on Ubuntu or it needs some repositories to enable first.

    You can go the snap route too, if you're into that:

    https://snapcraft.io/install/openra/debian

    Enable snapd

    On Debian 9 (Stretch) and newer, snap can be installed directly from the command line:

    sudo apt update

    sudo apt install snapd

    sudo snap install core

    Install OpenRA

    To install OpenRA, simply use the following command:

    sudo snap install openra
