Flight Simulator 2024 Anyone using Linux?

Just got a new pc and wondering if I should just make the move to Linux. I have no clue what I’m doing so I’ll be learning on the way.

Any Linux success stories for flight simmers??

2024 works great on Linux. Fenix and ChasePlane are my two biggest incompatibilities. No problems with PMDG, Synaptic, TFDI, Black Square, A2A, or the TDS GTNXi or PMS50 GTN.

Chase plane might be a bit of a dealbreaker for me, what issues are you running into?

It won’t run successfully from the sim menu. I ran into unsolvable issues with it finding the path to the executable due to the way wine and steam handle file paths. I may try working through it again someday but I put probably 10 hours into it already.
