Linux installation?
« 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

Planet's Primary, Alpha Centauri A, blasts unimaginable quantities of energy into space each instant, and virtually every joule of it is wasted entirely. Incomprehensible riches can be ours if we can but stretch our arms wide enough to dip from this eternal river of wealth.
