Aviators Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 I installed Kubuntu 20.04 (linux system) on my laptop (Dell Alienware 17), I would like to try to start DCS World. Do you know if it works? Is there a specific procedure? Maybe I need steam and protonDB? I accept answers also from ED developers :D L'importante non è stabilire se uno ha paura o meno, è saper convivere con la propria paura e non farsi condizionare dalla stessa. Ecco, il coraggio è questo, altrimenti non è più coraggio ma incoscienza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkateZilla Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 DCS World Requires Windows 7, 8, or 10, Microsoft DX11, and MS Visual Runtimes. There's no way around this. Windows 10 Pro, Ryzen 2700X @ 4.6Ghz, 32GB DDR4-3200 GSkill (F4-3200C16D-16GTZR x2), ASRock X470 Taichi Ultimate, XFX RX6800XT Merc 310 (RX-68XTALFD9) 3x ASUS VS248HP + Oculus HMD, Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS + MFDs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

=36=Witcher Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 DCS World Requires Windows 7, 8, or 10, Microsoft DX11, and MS Visual Runtimes. There's no way around this.As reece146 said in the post above, I think that with Wine should be theoretically possible. I would try myself but unfortunately I have not enough disk space in my Linux box. WineHQ App Database reports aren't promising though... https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=38165 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudel_chw Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Thanks ;) I will do other research You could partition your hard drive and use both Windows and Linux ... that is the easiest and less painful way to get DCS on this type of machine.

Dunks Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 I had it working on linux mint, and it runs very very well, better than it does on windows imho, but could not get any head tracking working :o( Look for "How to Make DCS 2.5.6 Run under Linux -again- using Lutris- Wine- DXVK" on youtube.
