Lux Wine

This project allows you to easily run your favorite applications and games for Windows on almost any Linux x86_64 distribution using a specially configured Wine/Proton and RunImage container. Lux Wine also comes with a native Steam, which allows you not to think about installing a large number of libraries into your system (especially 32-bit ones) for its work.

Requirements:

• Supported architectures x86_64
• The minimum recommended Linux kernel version is 4.18+ with support for user namespaces, but 5.0+ would be better
• FUSE (but not necessarily, because it is possible to work in unpacked form without FUSE mounting)
• The driver for the video card in your system
• Some kind of desktop environment

Installation:

curl -sL lwrap.github.io|bash

• HF mirror:

  curl -sL lux-wine-git.static.hf.space|sed 1d|bash

• or with wget:

  wget -qO - lwrap.github.io|bash

• HF mirror:

  wget -qO - lux-wine-git.static.hf.space|sed 1d|bash

Video of the installation process:

Offline installation:

1. Download latest lwrun release from the releases page (HF mirror)
2. Make it executable before run
3. For Nvidia users with a proprietary driver, it is also necessary to download or manually create an image of the driver of the corresponding version and put it next to the lwrun container
4. Launch the lwrun container, the installation will be completely automatic
