+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
+* text input boxes are white on white
+* the terminal puts an extra newline after displaying the prompt
+* Aiden Nirh's cutscene has weird overlapping text
+* ShiftLetters seems to have no available word lists. Clicking Play
+crashes the game.
+* 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
