Hello,

does anyone know why Xonotic can't be installed with apt?

Looking at the FAQ, it is because no one has stepped forward to place it in the Debian repositories. A request was made in 2011.

Nexuis is in the repositories.

No installation required, just unzip and run.

Exactly there is no need to install Xonotic! The zip file you downloaded from the homepage has everything. All binaries to run the game on Linux, Windows and macOS are inside of it. Just unzip the archive and run the appropriate executable for your OS.

For example, on Windows or macOS you can start the game by double-clicking the Xonotic logo. On Linux you can run xonotic-linux-glx.sh or xonotic-linux-sdl.sh - whichever one works better on your hardware.
