Introduction

Steam Deck

Install Lutris

First things first, we need a trusty launcher to get things rolling. As the game isn't officially supported on anything outside of Windows (typical!), we'll call upon Lutris, the hero of our Linux gaming saga.

How to Install Lutris

There are several ways to summon Lutris to your side. The easiest is to use Nobora, as it's bundled with the distro. For other cool distros, like Arch, you'll need to do some manual summoning.

Setup Lutris & Install Final Fantasy XI

  • Ready to roll? Open Lutris.
  • Click the [+] icon and select the Lutris website for installers option.
  • Type Final Fantasy XI Online and choose the top-tier option.
