It came to my attention that there are some people having problems making Xf1re run on Linux systems. After a long fight and many tries I will write a good way to get it running in no times and how to improve some performance.

The first thing here is to get 'Bottles' (I recommend just getting it through Flatpak), create a new bottle (be sure to check where you want to have that bottle, aka in which drive) and set it to 'gaming template', this will already configure everything for a smooth install.

You might have issues on the installer not running, in that case just be sure to go to your bottle > runner > select sys-wine. We will only use wine on this part, since proton install kind of doesnt work.

If you are experimenting a white box of freeze, just be sure to use Cachyos 11.0 or GE Proton 10-34 that I can confirm (at the time of writing this) works.


Now, this should let you use Xf1re, but performance is a mixbag with friend request failing. This is surprisingly (from what I have managed to investigate) a skin issue, you can swap it to 'Symbiosis' that has a better performance, or 'Halo' that displays friend request better (but lags a lot in my experience). But feel free to test!

TODO: maybe a linux skin? Something that works better in our systems.
