Anyone Using AM on Linux?

[svetlik]

Just curious. I'm looking into this and wondering about pros & cons so I thought I'd ask.

Hi, Edward,

There is no Linux version of A:M

Occasionally someone tries some sort of a Windows emulator on Linux but A:M will be very buggy in such a situation.

You will need Windows to run A:M for the foreseeable future.

Thanks for responding.

Edward,

There may be a way to do this, but it will require some sort of virtualization/containerization and a valid Windows 7/Windows 10 license.  

Let me see if I can find the link for a possible way to do this, I think it will work but haven't tested it yet.  

I believe Robert is correct that if you tried to use something like WINE or Crossover Office, you might see nothing but bugs.  However, a complete Win 10 install running in a virtual machine on a Linux host OS should work just fine (theoretically).   

I've been meaning to test this myself anyway, so I'll give it a go and write up a tutorial on how to set it up.
