# Compatibility
I tried a few programs to see if it was working fine.
## Known to work
- game Steam Marines 2 (itch.io)
- game Frick (itch.io)
- game Depth of Extinction (itch.io)
- game Nowhere Prophet (GOG)
## Doesn't work
- software Firefox: `couldn't load XPCOM`
- software Deltachat AppImage: `error while loading shared libraries: ./DeltaChat-1.20.2.AppImage: ELF file ABI version invalid`
- game Mewnbase: guix lacks `lwjgl`
- game Midboss: `monoconfig not found!`
- game FTL: because they provide x86 binary only
- game Barony: `error while loading shared libraries: libGLU.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory`
- game Into the breach: `error while loading shared libraries: libfmodstudio.so.10: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory`
