Is CoH supported on Linux distro's?

[Dumluk Derptroll]

More of a developer's question. Is CoH supported on Linux distro's? Not talking about a VM on a Linux OS either.

I don't believe it has native support, and has to be run through a compatibility layer like wine.

This shouldn't be in suggestions...

 

But to answer your question: no, it is not officially supported.  That being said, there are a good number of us that run it on Linux just fine.  I personally have run it on 5 different distros (Ubuntu, Fedora, Secureblue, Bazzite, CachyOS)

It runs completely painlessly for me using Lutris on Mint Cinnamon, and frankly think it runs better on Linux than Windows.  I ended up with a half dozen each of 2018ish AMD laptops and barebones desktops with wiped SSDs after covid, and I use them for everything gaming, entertainment, business, and kids education that my windows desktops can do.  I don't think I will ever purchase a Windows, Office, or Acrobat license again. 

 

Honestly, the only time I have ever had trouble getting CoH to run was on  newer windows laptops, and the issues are related to DirextX,  OpenGL, and the odd defaulting to integrated graphics. I (knock on wood) have never had even the slightest hiccup on any of my (14 and counting) Linux installations.
