Introduction
Overview | |
This guide aims to get Final Fantasy XI running on any/most Linux distros. Whether you're a Linux guru or a noob, fear not! We'll get you slaying dragons in no time. The guide was crafted on Manjaro (Arch), but should work on most distros with a DE, like Fedora, Ubuntu, and their quirky cousins Nobora and Cinnamon. |
Steam Deck
Steam Deck Steps | |
To get the game working on your Steam Deck, you'll need to follow these steps:
|
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.
