The instructions do work well, even for SwordSearcher 10 and Wine 11, if you are using a standard Linux distribution. Those looking to explore atomic distributions such as Fedora Silverblue/Kinoite or the Universal Blue (Bazzite, Aurora, etc.) will have some additional challenges. I have given...

Balatro is pretty fun! I can understand why official Linux support is not on the table. I imagine that would be quite an undertaking. I am glad you've made SwordSearcher what it is. I hope that Wine/Proton continues to develop to the point that Windows software just runs on Linux with...

The SteamOS idea is intriguing, to me at least, because SteamOS is an atomic Arch-based Linux distro. I have a Seam Deck which runs SteamOS. When I have time I will try to set up SwordSearcher as a non-Steam game using Proton to see what happens. This might give a good idea of how much work...

I noticed that about those two files. Winetricks installs the x64 version of ie8 and works well on my non-atomic system. The atomic distros that I have tried so far do not include Wine in the base system. Bazzite, which is based on atomic Fedora, includes winetricks but not Wine. I am not...

Brandon, Thanks for the reply. Good to know. I will leave that out of my further testing. :D It turns out that my adventure with Bottles actually confused things by a lot. Since winetricks isn't available to flatpacks, the built in prefix templates install things like mono, gecko, and...
