How to play elite dangerous on manjaro linux - Lion playing with lioness on meadow in savannah

I have just recently switched to Linux and I can't find a way to run elite on Linux so far. Does anybody have any solutions for this?



Best Answer

Using the Native steam 'play on linux' does not work, as it does not install mono, which is a framework Elite uses for the launcher.

This is how you could do it:

  • Using latest version of Antergos Linux
  • Using Lutris to install Windows Steam version of Elite Dangerous

(Lutris uses Wine, which autodetects the requirement of mono and installs everything required)

According to mzry, a user on the Frontier Forums, it runs as smooth as windows, and sound, audio, and joysticks work perfectly.

Hope this helps!
