This is an attempt to get ShiftOS working well on Linux using Wine and Mono.

The launcher script needs a copy of the game (try extracting Debug.zip from the AppVeyor project) in a directory called "data". It will set up a new Wine prefix in ~/.local/share/ShiftOS and the game itself can be found in ~/.local/share/ShiftOS/drive_c/ShiftOS. Ultimately I want to make an AUR package of this script if all goes to plan.

known bugs

  • the first time you start the game, the Wine virtual desktop doesn't enable properly
  • the story mode intro crashes when it starts to "format" your drive
  • the ShiftOS desktop can go in front of applications
  • there is a blue border from the Wine desktop (I want to change that to black, but I also don't want it showing through while the game is running)
  • CSharpCodeProvider doesn't seem to work, so Python mods won't load

anticipated tricky bits

  • Web browser
  • Unity mode
