Linux Support Update?

Given the recent trend of windows issues via MS.. perhaps it's time to discuss proper linux support? I know a page exists for this purpose on their site however.. any an every attempt to get it tested for functionality has absolutely failed me.

Perhaps the guide on the site itself could use an update? Someone else to retest the steps an ensure it still works per the claims.

Even if it's just my voice, even if others say I'm doing it all wrong. I have to speak up an see if we can get the ball started somewhere on this.

There is a whole channel on the windower discord dedicated to running windower/ffxi on linux. A lot of people are successfully running on linux at this very moment

I'm glad you can go there and see all that, I'm not able to join that server. I'm stuck to do this here.

Edit: never mind you seem like a ***, good luck

I'd like to remind people to stay clean, mature & don't profile here. If your not here to help don't post anything at all. I didn't do anything to you so why waste everyone's time with nonsense is the idea.

Those that help have my thanks in advance.

I will assume you don't have a discord account? cuz only 1 person is banned from the windower server.

in that case just use the the current Lutris and post super specific issues when you have them, which you likely will.

But the community in the linux-chat channel of the windower discord is active and helpful, the number of issues you could solve just by searching the logs is going to be pretty high. so i would suggest to make your jump to linux easier if you found a way to communicate with them.

Alternatively maybe some part of the ashita community has a non discord presence

lol

I'm not trying to get into the specifics of why I cannot join that server (if you were an admin for that server we could have a chat about it via dm's). Meanwhile, last run with lutris kicked alot of python errors and nothing would ever seem to fix things. Proton, Wine, dotnet, tricks, etc everything failed in all of my tests to get it to run 11 or windower either way.

As for specifics.. yeah those logs if I did reproduce them would be really long, not sure the forum would want that much data so I'd have to trim them.

I'll do a rerun of the installers for both and share any simplified errors I have.

Well if your account was hacked and you were able to reclaim it we can remove the van it got spammer/scam posts. We have done that before for the person who manage to contract us about it.

But I also linked this thread to the Linux channel so someone might stop in here, probably not tonight though.
