hello fellow sailers , hope you’re having a nice day , a few months back i switched to arch linux because my computer has good ram but not that good gpu , but now i would like to play some og games like portal 2 , portal 1 , inscryption etc from fitgirl repacks and i have scoured through many guides but nothing just works , too complicated. can’t there be a simple guide with preferably images or something like that (like a website /blog maybe?) I would really appreciate that since many of my friends may like to join linux ship but they are pirates like me as well who wouldn’t be able to play games on linux. #Fitgirl-repacks,#Linux

I don’t think there’s a guide for your specific use case, but it’s essentially no different from running any other windows installer on Linux. You will have to set up Wine (a guide is on their website) and once that’s done, it’s basically just double-clicking the setup.exe.

no brother thats not how it works , because fitgirl repacks are extremely compressed since they are sent off through torrent , its not like you can just double click the setup.exe i would suggest you to see some reddit posts regarding this topic if my comment didn’t explain it properly :) https://www.reddit.com/r/LinuxCrackSupport/comments/yqfirv/how_to_install_fitgirl_or_dodi_windows_repacks_in/

Clueless person dishing out a condescending ‘no brother thats not how it works’, comedy gold 😃

Yes, that is absolutely how it works, the compression or the files being distributed via torrents doesn’t make any difference. I have installed plenty of (Fitgirl) repacks just by setting up wine and double-clicking the .exe file. I’ve never had any issues whatsoever.
