The Linux app doesn't currently have a launcher window that can display these pages, but I'm working on one. In advance of that, here are Linux versions of the advice pages. I also found that 'make integration' didn't install the welcome banner for the launcher window, nor one of the assets needed for the advice pages, so this also patches the make script to do so.

<p>Between 2016 and 2022, Inform was rewritten from top to bottom, and prepared
|
|
for open-sourcing: that is, for being published as free software which anybody
|
|
can inspect, fix bugs in, or contribute to. The software changed enormously
|
|
as a result, seen from the inside, but for users it remains almost the same
|
|
(except for hundreds of bug fixes).</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>There are exceptions to this, however, for users who mix their Inform source
|
|
text with low-level I6 code using "Include (- ... -)". Very few users do this
|
|
themselves, but it's more common to make use of extensions which do. Quite a
|
|
few popular extensions have needed to be rewritten for the version 10 Inform,
|
|
and you may therefore need to update your copies of them. The Public Library
|
|
in this app may be a good place to start.</p>
