Hey maties, just a hypothetical question I thought I would pose. Has anyone tried installing Fitgirl (or any repack I guess) on Linux using Wine or any of the similar compatibility programs? I have a couple repacks I would like to run on my Linux (Fedora 32) laptop and wondered if such a thing was even possible.

    I’ve had a 100% hitrate installing Fitgirl repacks using lutris with this method: aHR0cHM6Ly95b3V0dWJlLmNvbS93YXRjaD92PWdWdWFiRWNrTU1BJmZlYXR1cmU9c2hhcmVi

    Not going to be a popular response, and it’s ever only been for Sims 4, but I’ll use a windows VM to install it there. Then I’ll move the whole game folder over and let wine do the rest.

    I meant to say Fedora 38 not 32. Thanks everyone for your comments. From the consensus it seems to be hit or miss which makes sense. Also I am adding this as a comment because I can’t seem to figure out how to edit a post if possible. New Lemmy user here.

    I installed two fitgirl repacks yesterday though lutris without any problems. I just had to change the installation path in the fitgirl installer which was somehow incomplete and therefore not working
