Title: Linux installation?
Post by: AlphaSierraCharlie on September 04, 2025, 02:02:17 am

Once I download the Linux version, how do I actually go about installing and running it? Or would I be better off running it through Wine or a Windows VM? I'm running Ubuntu 24.04.

Wine is the way to go, at least I've never had any problems running it that way. If you're using Steam, it should work with their Proton compatibility layer as well.

Someone has recently posted a short installation guide that addresses some of the common quirks over on gog forums. It might come in handy: https://www.gog.com/forum/sid_meier_s_alpha_centauri_/alpha_centauri_on_linux_using_wine
