I've tried running your guide, but I ran into multiple hurdles along the way. The installer would immediately crash unless I enabled virtual desktop in Also, copying your entire This guide will be something that will have to be rechecked and updated with every release of the engine. I can already guess that the new launcher is going to break some things here. Still, I think this is a very useful resources that deserves a spot in the docs, so maybe a compromise would be to add warnings that this is a hack and mention the exact version with which this guide was tested. |

I left a few review comments. I'll probably go over your guide after it's merged anyway to adjust formatting and make it more beginner friendly for less savvy users.

From what it seems, is sounds like you are copying all stride packages into the wine nuget folder, so that future engine updates won't actually show up. This is probably okay - you can use older versions of Game Studio with newer projects and as long as there weren't any major changes to how it handles project files or any new features, it should work just fine. However, it would be a good idea to mention that fact somewhere and add a section related to updating Stride (which as far as I can tell would just involve copying the nuget cache again).

As much as I hate separating Linux from typical Windows documentation, I think it would be better to have this in Platforms/Linux next to Setup and requirements. To make it easier to find, we could add a mention at the top of install-stride redirecting Linux users to that page.

I wrote a short article based on trial and error about how to set up your Linux machine to run the Stride GameStudio editor.
This tutorial includes a workaround that may be resolved in the future. Please let me know if anything is missing that prevents you from following the steps, or if you’d simply write it differently.
