Greetings, Space Penguins!
The Linux Users Group is a community of Linux Users who play Star Citizen, BDSSE.
This xOrg provides a place to troubleshoot, learn from each other, and test the limits of SC on Linux!
For help & our social channels, see our wiki.
History
The Linux Users Group, established in 2014, was born from the community on the old RSI forums in threads such as the “Unofficial Linux Thread”. Our organization grew out of a vision to unite Linux-using Star Citizen gamers to share knowledge, skills, stories, and fun.
For the latest news and information about Star Citizen on Linux, see our wiki and our Quick Start Guide.
We have active social channels on Spectrum and Discord.

In 2956, Linux is still widely used owing to its open-source nature. It ensures that anyone, anywhere, can make improvements to their systems and share their changes with others, giving end-users complete control. It was one of the first systems used in space for machinery, embedded systems, and user laptops. It operates in mobile phones, servers, super computers, military hardware, MobiGlas models, and many other embedded systems. Linux has proven reliability and an excellent track record.

Manifesto
The LUG Org is a way for spacefaring Linux users to connect with and help one another both in and out of the ‘Verse. We advocate for Linux as a platform and organize input for CIG developers so they can make the BDSSE for all of us, including Linux users!
We’re more than just an org. We’re a diverse and welcoming community of Linux enthusiasts, filled with both wise old Penguins who’ve mastered the art of Linux gaming and curious newcomers just discovering its warmer waters. No matter where you are on your Linux journey, you’ll feel right at home here.
We welcome BSD, Mac, *nix users, and all who are interested in Linux. Just like the platform Linux, all are welcome! We believe all human beings have equal and inalienable human rights, and we endeavor to treat everyone with the same respect we would like to be given. We believe in growing together, learning from one another, and celebrating our shared passion for open-source power in gaming.
Whether you’re a seasoned Linux user or just starting out, we welcome you with open wings!

The LUG is mainly a non-RP, out-of-universe org and a Linux Users Group. We are neutral toward other orgs, and affiliates are welcome.
We ask that you leave bad relations – be it warring orgs or personal – at the door. Feel free to pick them back up when you go on your way into space again.
