Hi guys

Random question - has anyone tried to run EECH under Linux? I'm ditching windows (or minimizing usage to bare minimum) so was wondering if anyone managed to get EECH running under Linux (VM or Wine) ??

Thanks

I've not heard of anyone having tried it. I used Ubuntu and Mint quite a bit, and had them on dual boot with Windows until I got m new laptop.

Years ago, some dev made allMods releases working on Linux natively, but no one since then has followed this path. Maybe it will work in VM/Wine, but even so performance/stability will be really poor.

Just an update. My PC currently is a POS with onboard gpu and old Amd A10 but...managed to "play" EECH 1.16.2 via Lutris and Linux Mint 20.1.

Obviously everything was "a bit" choppy but it launched and worked as such. Once I get my rig upgraded I will report back.
