Introduction

s&box on Linux is not officially supported by Facepunch; therefore, the responsibility falls on the community to research, develop and/or maintain patches, forks, PRs, tools, documentation, etc for playing s&box on Linux.

This mdBook, sbox-linux-book, aims to document the best known methods for playing and building the s&box game, editor, and server, both via Proton and natively.


sbox-linux-book follows the do not repeat yourself doctrine, in that common information is either:

  • collected into pages under the “Common” section and then linked to

OR

  • pages can use the {{#include }} syntax to include information from other files directly inline without users needing to follow a link

This way maintainers can update information in one place rather than tracking down all the places it is restated.


That being said, sbox-linux-book is organized such that anyone interested in a particular aspect of s&box on Linux, such as running the server natively or running the game via Proton can navigate to the corresponding page and have all of the information they need to get started.
