Problems and solutions for installing or running FreeOrion, including discussion of bugs if needed before posting a bug report on GitHub. For problems building from source, post in Compile.
I use Ubuntu 16.04 and compile from source (although the snaps also work for me, and I guess o01eg's ppa too).
Never used Mint, I assume you can't use Ubuntu PPAs, but have you tried compiling from source? Less burden than updating the system I guess.
error: system does not fully support snapd: you need to reboot into a 4.4
kernel to start using snapd
Yes, the best thing to do would be to upgrade the system. I know. Apart from that, does anyone know of a shortcut that could help me run the game?
One stupid idea: has anyone ever tried to run a Windows version on Linux using Wine?
Minimum supported boost version is 1.58 which provided by Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial and Mint 18.
Moreover there is a plan for python3 migration which requires Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic and Mint 19.
