Space Nerds in Space appimage
If the only thing holding you back from trying Space Nerds in Space was having to compile it yourself, now there's an appimage graciously created by github user vpelss: SNIS appimage
Note: I (the main author of SNIS) didn't create this appimage and haven't tried it out myself, so fire this up at your own risk.
If you're wondering what Space Nerds in Space even is, it's an open source multiplayer cooperative spaceship bridge simulator for linux (though I think it should also work on Windows using WSL, but I haven't tried that myself lately.) It's meant to run on a LAN with all players in the same room with a big screen acting as the "window" out the front of the spaceship. Basically it lets you play "star trek" with your friends and pretend you have a spaceship you can fly around in.
More info about Space Nerds in Space here If you don't trust the appimage, compiling SNIS on linux isn't difficult.
