Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install duel3 on Fedora 34.

What is duel3

The sudden attack from the Martain Rim miners caught the Earth by surprise, there was no way the meager Earth Space Fleet could defend themselves. The miners attacked, and eliminated their enemies, and then returned to the asteroid belt. However, Earth could not accept such an embarrassing defeat. The military developed new space fighters, and trained several squadrons of elite pilots. The task force was then deployed against the miners. These trained pilots utterly defeated the miners in a matter of weeks, and the first space war in human history was finished. The military, however, now had a new problem on their hands. These new elite pilots were becoming restless, and there was no way for them to test their skills. The military dare not disband the force, or let their skills dull, so the Duel Combat League was formed. The newly formed league quickly became the premier entertainment form on the planet, and the military’s largest source of income. Take control of a Duel fighter, and test your skills against your opponents and the arena itself in fast-paced space combat.
