This is how to skip the Funcom launcher, intro movie, and company logo splashes. You can change the launch options in the steam properties for this game. eval is just a way to run a concatenated command through a subshell. The Windows wayt will obviously not work.
eval $(echo "%command% -nosplash -nostartupscreen -continuesession" | sed -e 's|/Launcher/FuncomLauncher.exe|/DuneSandbox/Binaries/Win64/DuneSandbox_BE.exe|g')
nosplash skips the Funcom launcher
The Debian high priests of development performed an ancient purity test ritual and determined that glances has sinned and therefore the included obfuscated Javascript code must be expunged. The files needed to make the web UI of glances work properly were removed by the Debian clerics to protect us from the danger of an open source obfuscated javascipt library. I for one feel safer.

This is mostly a reminder of how I like to setup my Ubuntu servers. If you run some command like man foo you will get a warning.
This system has been minimized by removing packages and content that are
not required on a system that users do not log into.
To restore this content, including manpages, you can run the 'unminimize'
command. You will still need to ensure the 'man-db' package is installed.

Gaming on Linux is very easy these days. You can install your OS, install Steam, install a game and hit "Play" and it should work. I use Ubuntu because I have been using it for so long and know both the distro and Gnome desktop well. I made this mostly for myself. This is not a comprehensive guide to setting up gaming on Linux. Maybe someone will find some part of this useful and help them. This small guide will not discuss the OS install and setup. You should be able to do that on your own. If you are new to Linux there are plenty of guides to help you get started. If you are running on a VM you are on your own. If you are on Ubuntu 25 or 26 things may be very different or not work at all. As with any Linux distro you can always check the version by running the shell command cat /etc/os-release.
More than anyone else, Valve has progressed the Linux gaming experience significantly. Both Nvidia and AMD have very good GPU drivers for Linux. This is especially true for AMD who
