THIS MONTH IN OPENSAGE - An Unofficial Update on the Progress!
First - What is OpenSAGE? Right now, installing the BFME games is hard, and massive improvements are limited because of how the game was built. If you've heard of BFME Reforged, they're creating a brand new game - But OpenSAGE is creating a compatible version of the game. Think of the original BFME like Internet Explorer, and OpenSAGE as Google Chrome. It will revolutionize the original games!
- Command and Conquer - Open Source Engine Recreation Project, OpenSAGE is in development!

Error trying to run CnCNet (C&C) on Linux Mint
There's also a project called Vanilla Conquer which is a perfect port of the originals based on open source code released with the remaster but it's not been packaged so it has to be built from source.

C&C: "Red Alert" and "Tiberian Dawn"s Linux ports added to Luxtorpeda
u/d10sfan has added Vanilla Conquer source port for Command & Conquer: Red Alert and Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn which are part of Command & Conquer Remastered Collection to Luxtorpeda repos. Thanks to that, native Linux ports of those games can be played as Steam games.

Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn's Linux port added to Luxtorpeda for Steam
The title is misleading, OpenRA is not a linux port of Tiberian Dawn or Red Alert for that matter, its a fan clone game. Vanilla Conquer is a proper linux port of the original games based on the source code released for the remaster.

C&C Red Alert Remastered Map Editor
Neutral being uncapturable is probably due to https://github.com/TheAssemblyArmada/Vanilla-Conquer/issues/668 this bug because if I recall correctly, the neutral is considered to be allied to all other houses even if other houses aren't allied with them.
