I'd complain about how if I'd asked this on Twitter I'd have gotten some kinda answer by now but, nah, nobody on Twitter would have bothered

so, asking again

does *anyone* know first hand about getting to run on Linux? is it a WINE thing? is there a client?

Kara (and the rest of us) hardly ever get answers to technical questions on the fediverse without asking multiple times and I dunno if that's the fediverse to blame or if it's because it's _us_ asking

(needless to say trying to online search for info on this just yields a mess. the default result for searching for "how do I do X on Linux" is always a mess. usually you get links to unanswered forum questions)

@Alyx not first hand but here

appdb.winehq.org/objectManager

usually you install it with playonlinux (because it quickly creates separate wine bottles) and run with lutris (because it can download and set up upgraded latest wine)

@oreolek ah so it does have to be done through WINE. bleh, was kinda hoping it wasn't. it must run really badly?

@Alyx winedb has a tier system: "Platinum" is perfect, "Gold" is almost perfect, "Silver" means you'll have to jump through some hoops to start, "Bronze" means runs badly and "Garbage" means doesn't run at all. Test your luck.
