I wish there was Linux support.

then use a virtualbox. but if you're on ubuntu the virtualbox is in-built into it

that'd be a horrible user experience. virtual machines can't even run on most hardware without BIOS tweaks.

use wine instead. It translates Windows syscalls into Linux syscalls without any emulation or virtualization, so is much faster. Further, wine allows the app's windows to open like they are native windows.

i also have linux [on my laptop] and i installed wine and idk how tf do i use it, is it just like automatically enabled?

You'll have to launch it through wine - or though something like lutris that will manage wine for you. It's not easy, ~~and that's why i'm upset there isn't a linux build yet.~~

There's a linux build now btw.

I agree.

In the meantime, I used itch as a downloader, and Lutris to run the app from inside wine. That should be fairly easy to set up and debug -I've been doing it this way myself.
