2·9 months agoSpeaking from my egregious amount of hours in GW1&2 back in the day, you should just launch it through steam with Proton. Check people’s settings here: https://www.protondb.com/app/1284210 There is likely a Lutris prefab as well.

1·9 months agoNone, you’re essentially putting that in the background without a display. I think the app works by tunneling the windows app into a little display window… I assume. I think it has to be a trick with displays, when I consider what I know by breaking mine a lot. :') Someone smarter than me on ths can correct me.

1·9 months agoThe config files need to be just right for this to work. It took a little fiddling at first but it works on Kubuntu 25.04 for the last few months.

3·9 months agoLmao, agreed. QGIS is my main, but there’s some things I need via the enterprise side/legacy files. It gathers dust more often than not these days.

2·9 months agoYes, but there is a Winamp Wine based package somewhere iirc.

3·9 months agoI know there are ways you can tailor your VM to use the hardware, but am no expert.

5·9 months agoIt should be ok, I think. I am running ArcGIS which is pretty resource heavy and it works just fine.

491·9 months agoThey can’t run Adobe. This runs a full VM constantly in the background that you can pop up when you want to use the Windows desktop to install things etc. It’s a completely different set up. It can also run ArcGIS Pro, which the other methods can’t.



















I ran the old launcher through steam. It looks like, according to that link, that you can trigger the old launcher screen through execution commands now too.
