Playing Visual Novels on Linux
Playing Visual Novels on Linux
What steps, if any, do you guys take on the linux distribution of your choice to play visual novels?
I, personally, set the following in my .bashrc
alias vn='env WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 wine start '
so I can just type vn gameExecutable.exe
and usually just have the game work.
For the games I've had for a while, I have .desktop entries in my $XDG_DATA_HOME/applications
directory with more specific commands as needed.
If you guys have any other tricks up your sleeves, please feel free to share them here.

Honestly I've never had any issues with just using wine and ever since Valve announced proton I just add the
.exe
to Steam and run it that way2 0 ReplyI vaguely remember having issues with a few games, but I don't have any of the details. I think getting japanese locale generated fixed most things for me.
