M-Flux Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 It seems that Proton+Wine support for DCS World have made great progress: * https://github.com/TheZoq2/dcs_on_linux * https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/1722 And can confirm that it was quite easy to get DCS World running through Lutris on Linux. The Proton issue tracker has 17 likes, so there seems to be some interest. To avoid Linux users swarming in and annoying other Windows users (or even ED staff), maybe it would make sense to add a Linux subsection here in the forum? Where Linux users could help each other, for (unoffical) community support. 2 SW, OS: Linux / Debian Sid -- VR: Monado (OpenXR) -- Launcher: Lutris -- Runner: Wine lutris-GE-Proton7-39-x86_64 HW, base/laptop: Lenovo Thinkpad T14s AMD Gen3 (AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850U, AMD/ATI Radeon 680M iGPU (for DCS usually unused), 32GB RAM, Samsung SSD 980 PRO 2TB) + eGPU: Razer Core X Chroma (Thunderbolt 3) + AMD/ATI Radeon RX 6650 XT 8GB; HOTAS: Logitech x-56, VR: HP Reverb G2 DCS Modules, Planes+Helicopters: F-14, F-16C, F/A-18C, AV-8B, AJS-37, UH-1H -- Maps: Nevada, Syria, Persian Gulf, Normandy 1944, The Channel -- Other Modules: FC3, Combined Arms, Supercarrier, WWII Assets Pack 1st "DCS" experience: Lock-On, later +FC1

M-Flux Posted March 13, 2023 Author Posted March 13, 2023 Hi @BIGNEWY, thanks for the quick reply! That's why I was wondering if adding a section like "English" -> "Digital Combat Simulator" -> "DCS World 2.8" -> "Linux Community Support (unofficial)" could be useful. Where we Linux users would help each other and could share our tinkering, without bothering you :-). Have a nice day!
