I&#8217;ve uploaded the packages into this <a href=\"https:\/\/launchpad.net\/~ubuntuhandbook1\/+archive\/ubuntu\/supertux\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">unofficial PPA<\/a> for Ubuntu 18.04, Ubuntu 20.04, Ubuntu 21.04, Ubuntu 21.10, and Linux Mint 20, etc. <\/p>\n<p>Besides 64-bit package for modern PC and 32-bit for old PC (Ubuntu 18.04 only), there are also <b>armhf\/arm64<\/b> packages for devices such as Apple Silicon and Raspberry Pi.<\/p>\n<h4>1. Add the Ubuntu PPA:<\/h4>\n<p>To add the PPA, firstly press Ctrl+Alt+T on keyboard to open terminal (or search from start menu).

Install \/ Upgrade SuperTux:<\/h4>\n<p>The package in PPAs is a little bit different. The stock versions in Ubuntu repository built the package into <code>supertux<\/code> and <code>supertux-data<\/code>. Apology for being lazy, the PPA packages built into single <code>supertux<\/code>. <\/p>\n<p>Which means, upgrading from the stock Supertux version to v0.6.3 using &#8220;Software Updater&#8221; may not work. Instead, user need to run the command in terminal to install or upgrade the game package:<\/p>\n<pre>sudo apt install supertux<\/pre>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ubuntuhandbook.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/apt-supertux-focal.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ubuntuhandbook.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/apt-supertux-focal.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"266\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-36578\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ubuntuhandbook.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/apt-supertux-focal.png 600w, https:\/\/ubuntuhandbook.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/apt-supertux-focal-300x133.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>How to Remove or Downgrade SuperTux:<\/h3>\n<p>For any issue, user may purge the PPA repository which also downgrade the game package to the stock version in Ubuntu repository (<i>change PPA name depends which one you use<\/i>):<\/p>\n<pre>sudo apt install ppa-purge && sudo ppa-purge ppa:ubuntuhandbook1\/supertux<\/pre>\n<p>Or, remove the game package directly by running command in terminal:<\/p>\n<pre>sudo apt remove --autoremove supertux<\/pre>\n<p>And, user may remove the PPA instead of purging it via &#8220;Software &#038; Updates&#8221; utility.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ubuntuhandbook.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/remove-supertuxppa.webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ubuntuhandbook.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/remove-supertuxppa-600x290.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"290\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-36579\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ubuntuhandbook.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/remove-supertuxppa-600x290.webp 600w, https:\/\/ubuntuhandbook.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/remove-supertuxppa-300x145.webp 300w, https:\/\/ubuntuhandbook.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/remove-supertuxppa-768x371.webp 768w, https:\/\/ubuntuhandbook.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/remove-supertuxppa.webp 1012w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many free open-source apps got new releases before new year 2022.
