Read\nthe [highly-acclaimed][vndb-aokana] [shounen sports chuunibyou][chuuni] visual\nnovel that [spawned a derivative outpouring of anime and manga\nspinoffs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aokana:_Four_Rhythm_Across_the_Blue#Adaptations)\nin the most cultured way possible: as a native 1440p application under a Linux\ndistro near you.\n\n\u003e ⚠️\n\n\u003e This port is **not officially endorsed** by [NekoNyan][nekonyan],\n\u003e *[Aokana][nekonyan-aokana]*'s applause-worthy [Steam publisher][steam-aokana]\n\u003e and English localizer. We still love you, [NekoNyan][nekonyan].\n\n## Installation\n\n1. **Please legally purchase [NekoNyan's English localization of\n   *Aokana*][steam-aokana],** because [NekoNyan][nekonyan] continually goes\n   beyond the call of corporate duty to support censorship-free localization\n   throughout the English visual novel community. Online storefronts include:\n   * **[NekoNyan themselves][nekonyan-aokana].**\n   * **[JAST][jast-aokana].**\n   * **[Steam][steam-aokana].**\n1. Download **Linux-compatible videos** in the language of your choice:\n   * **[English and/or\n     Japanese](https://www.mediafire.com/file/bhm65i1h9tx68yv/file).**\n   * **[Simplified\n     Chinese](http://www.mediafire.com/file/s3rai72u2je60t1/file).**\n   * **[Traditional\n     Chinese](http://www.mediafire.com/file/fsisjaibh73wc8v/file).**\n1. Choose the installation route that's right for you:\n   * **\"[NekoNyan][nekonyan-aokana] or [JAST][jast-aokana], please.\"** But of\n     course, cultured senpai! This route installs the [*Aokana Perfect\n     Edition+* R18 release][steam-aokana-perfect-edition] directly purchased\n     from [NekoNyan][nekonyan-aokana] or [JAST][jast-aokana] (identical to the\n     uncensored Steam release detailed below). Either:\n     * **(Recommended)** [Install **Aokana** from the Lutris\n       website][lutris-aokana]:\n       1. [Browse to the **Lutris Aokana page**][lutris-aokana].\n       1. Click the **Install** button to the right of the *LINUX  Windows\n          NekoNyan or JAST version* installer.\n     * Manually install Aokana from this repository:\n       1. Download our [well-tested NekoNyan-or-JAST Lutris\n          installer][local-nekonyan-or-jast].\n       1. Open a terminal to the directory containing that file.\n       1. Copy-and-paste this command into that terminal:\n\n              lutris -i aokana-native-nekonyan-or-jast.yml\n\n   * **[\"Steam, please.\"][steam-aokana]** Your wish is our Linux command. Our\n     Steam installers are experimental, largely untested, and possibly\n     even (but hopefully *not*) broken. Please help us get a better idea of the\n     state of these installers by **[submitting a new issue documenting your\n     installation experience][local-issue-new].** Note that\n     [NekoNyan][nekonyan]'s [vanilla Steam release of *Aokana*][steam-aokana]\n     is the **censored All Ages** version. Some people like that. Some people\n     don't. \u003csup\u003eObligatory shoutouts to [/r/visualnovels][r-visualnovels]\n     here.\u003c/sup\u003e Again, choose the installation subroute that's right for you:\n     * **\"Censored, please.\"** Sure thing! It's your visual novel. This\n       subroute installs the [censored All Ages vanilla Steam release of\n       *Aokana*][steam-aokana]:\n       1. Download our [**experimental** censored Steam Lutris\n          installer][local-steam-censored].\n       1. Open a terminal to the directory containing that file.\n       1. Copy-and-paste this command into that terminal:\n\n              lutris -i aokana-native-steam-censored.yml\n\n     * **\"Uncensored, please.\"** You have chosen wisely. This subroute\n       installs the [free-as-in-beer Perfect Edition+ R18 Steam DLC\n       patch][steam-aokana-perfect-edition] restoring all CGs, scenes, and\n       dialogues from the original Japanese release as well as adding Misaka's\n       supplementary scenes from the so-called *Aokana Perfect Edition+*:\n       1.

Copy-and-paste this command into that terminal:\n\n              lutris -i aokana-native-steam-uncensored.yml\n\n   * **\"Unspecified other sources, please.\"** Please legally purchase\n     [NekoNyan's English localization of *Aokana*][steam-aokana] when you have\n     the financial means – if you haven't already, of course. Without ongoing\n     monetary support, the visual novel community will get a BAD END (which is\n     bad):\n     1. Download our [well-tested portable Lutris installer][local-portable].\n     1. Open a terminal to the directory containing that file.\n     1. Copy-and-paste this command into that terminal:\n\n            lutris -i aokana-native-portable.yml\n\n     4. When asked to *Select main Windows executable \"Aokana.exe\"*, select\n        the top-level `Aokana.exe` file in the directory containing your\n        portable Windows copy of *[Aokana][nekonyan-aokana]*.\n\nYou're done. Praise Misaka!\n\n## Features\n\nThis port is a [fan-authored third-party conversion][linux-aokana] of\n[NekoNyan][nekonyan]'s [original Windows-only release][steam-aokana], now\nfeaturing:\n\n* **Native Linux execution.** As a native Linux application, this port requires\n  *no* compatibility layer (e.g., [WINE][wine] [Proton][proton]) – reducing\n  runtime overhead and the usual laundry list of issues caused by these layers.\n* **Linux-compatible videos.** As a native Linux application, this\n  port leverages cross-platform open-source royalty-free media standards like\n  [Vorbis][media-vorbis], [VP8][media-vp8], and [WebM][media-webm] rather than\n  the non-cross-platform non-open-source royalty-encumbered media shipped with\n  the [original Windows-only release][steam-aokana].\n* **Fast save restart.** This port additionally supports a new low-level\n  `--continue` command-line option substantially reducing startup times. When\n  passed, this option bypasses all startup logos, the opening video (OP), the\n  main menu, and the load menu by immediately loading straight into the most\n  recent save. *Nice.*\n\n## Differences\n\nThis port also features a number of *mostly* negligible differences from the\n[original Windows-only release][steam-aokana], listed here for both\ncompleteness and to avoid confusion:\n\n* **Sprite Viewer file features unsupported.** This port does *not* currently\n  support Sprite Viewer features attempting to open a file dialog, as the\n  [original Windows-only release][steam-aokana] did so by opening a\n  non-portable Windows-specific file dialog. This includes the following Sprite\n  Viewer features:\n  * Background importation.\n  * Image file saving.\n* **Letterboxing on window resizes.** When manually resizing the game window to\n  an unsupported aspect ratio, this port currently letterboxes (i.e., surrounds\n  game content with both horizontal and vertical black bars) rather than\n  auto-correcting itself as in the [original Windows-only\n  release][steam-aokana].\n* **Unpaused audio on window minimization.** When minimizing the game window,\n  this port currently fails to pause the currently playing audio if any rather\n  than automatically pausing that audio as in the [original Windows-only\n  release][steam-aokana].\n* **Save thumbnail degradation.** As in the Switch port, this port downscales\n  save thumbnails with Unity's lower-quality stock bilinear filtering mode\n  rather than the higher-quality bicubic filtering mode implemented by the\n  [original Windows-only release][steam-aokana].\n\n## Authors\n\nAuthoritative credit for this native Linux port goes entirely to [Unity maestro\nand Fuwanovel forums contributor **loam**][loam], whose [initial post ignited\nthe whole shebang][loam-post]. *You are amazing and you surely know it.*\n\n## See Also\n\nIf you enjoy this, you might also enjoy:\n\n* [*Fate/stay night [Réalta Nua] Ultimate Edition*… for\n  Linux!][leycec-fatestaynight], a [Lutris installer][lutris] automating\n  patching and execution of the *[Réalta Nua]* variant of the seminal [shounen\n  chuunibyou][chuuni] visual novel *[Fate/stay night][typemoon-fatestaynight]*.\n* [*The Legend of Heroes: Trails of…* for Linux!][leycec-kiseki], [Lutris\n  installers][lutris] automating patching and execution of fully translated and\n  voiced [SoraVoice][kiseki-soravoice] variants of the [legendary *Kiseki*\n  (i.e., *Trails*, *Legend of Heroes*,『英雄伝説 …の軌跡』) Japanese\n  role-playing franchise][kiseki].\n\n[chuuni]: https://forums.fuwanovel.net/topic/1820-chuuni-what-is-this-genre\n[nekonyan]: https://nekonyansoft.com\n[nekonyan-aokana]: https://nekonyansoft.com/shop/product/22\n[jast-aokana]: https://jastusa.com/aokana-four-rhythms-across-the-blue\n[kiseki]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trails_(series)\n[kiseki-soravoice]: https://github.com/ZhenjianYang/SoraVoice\n[leycec]: https://github/leycec\n[leycec-fatestaynight]: https://github.com/leycec/fsnrnue\n[leycec-kiseki]:  https://github.com/leycec/kiseki-linux\n[loam]: https://forums.fuwanovel.net/profile/28837-loam\n[loam-post]: https://forums.fuwanovel.net/topic/23163-linux-port-now-released-ao-no-kanata-no-four-rythm-linux-port-18-patch-for-nintendo-switch\n[local-issue-new]:        https://github.com/leycec/aokana-linux/issues/new/choose\n[local-nekonyan-or-jast]: https://github.com/leycec/aokana-linux/raw/main/lutris/aokana-native-nekonyan-or-jast.yml\n[local-portable]:         https://github.com/leycec/aokana-linux/raw/main/lutris/aokana-native-portable.yml\n[local-steam-censored]:   https://github.com/leycec/aokana-linux/raw/main/lutris/aokana-native-steam-censored.yml\n[local-steam-uncensored]: https://github.com/leycec/aokana-linux/raw/main/lutris/aokana-native-steam-uncensored.yml\n[lutris]: https://lutris.net\n[lutris-aokana]: https://lutris.net/games/aokana-four-rhythms-across-the-blue\n[lutris-aokana-steam]: https://lutris.net/games/aokana-four-rhythms-across-the-blue\n[linux-aokana]: https://forums.fuwanovel.net/topic/23163-linux-port-now-released-ao-no-kanata-no-four-rythm-linux-port-18-patch-for-nintendo-switch/?do=findComment\u0026comment=522629\n[r-visualnovels]: reddit.com/r/visualnovels\n[steam]: https://store.steampowered.com\n[steam-aokana]: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1044620/Aokana__Four_Rhythms_Across_the_Blue/\n[steam-aokana-perfect-edition]: https://nekonyansoft.com/shop/product/23\n[vndb-aokana]: https://vndb.org/v12849\n[media-vorbis]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vorbis\n[media-vp8]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VP8\n[media-webm]:  https://www.webmproject.org/about\n[proton]: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton\n[typemoon-fatestaynight]: https://typemoon.fandom.com/wiki/Fate/stay_night\n[wine]: https://www.winehq.org\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fleycec%2Faokana-linux","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fleycec%2Faokana-linux","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fleycec%2Faokana-linux/lists"}
