 @Haelwenn /элвэн/ :triskell: not anymore. 
 @0xa1baa1baa1baa1ba Well I've been using steamcmd lately anyway 
 @Haelwenn /элвэн/ :triskell: if you're not afraid of dotnet, can recommend depotdownloader. It's FOSS, at least. 
 @0xa1baa1baa1baa1ba Sadly Mono is a much bigger binary blob than steamcmd. 
 @Haelwenn /элвэн/ :triskell: oh I do remember your page about bootstrapping. 
 @Haelwenn /элвэн/ :triskell: @0xa1baa1baa1baa1ba forget about mono, it's dead. steamkit does not wotk with mono many years 
 @986ebc02 @0xa1baa1baa1baa1ba Lol, the only dead one is dotGNU, which was the only clean implementation of C# / MS CLI / .NET meanwhile Mono just ships Microsoft DLLs (same thing happening for wine-mono). 
 @Haelwenn /элвэн/ :triskell: @0xa1baa1baa1baa1ba maybe it's alive, but nkne modern .NET software works with it, all opensource .NET now only works with microsoft dotnet. DepotDownloader does not support mono many years 
 @986ebc02 @Haelwenn /элвэн/ :triskell: +, I tried to run it under Mono and it doesn't work at all.

Which is sad, Mono is better than Microsoft <3 Linux .NET. 
 @986ebc02 @Haelwenn /элвэн/ :triskell: (at least it doesn't try to turn my OS into Windows) 
 @986ebc02 @0xa1baa1baa1baa1ba Then .NET can just die in a fire, as it should 20 years ago.
