Now, it’s time to install Lutris, the FOSS game manager for Linux-based operating systems.Īdd a repo with the latest version, update apt repos, and install: $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lutris-team/lutris $ sudo apt install -install-recommends winehq-staging Install Lutris Update your apt repos and install Wine along with its recommended packages: $ sudo apt-add-repository 'deb focal main' Then change the directory to some download folder of yours, download the signing key for the Wine repository and add it to your apt: $ wget -nc Īdd the Wine repository to your system (replace „focal“ with the version of Ubuntu you’re using – here’s a list). Use the staging version instead of the stable one to get the newer (albeit less tested) build.įirst, enable 32-bit architecture (as the Ubisoft games at least behave like 32-bit apps): $ sudo dpkg -add-architecture i386 Install Wine (staging)įirst, install Wine, the Windows emulation software that enables Windows apps to run on Linux OS’s. I managed to accomplish this using this guide so kudos goes to its creators (although it leads to using GOG which we don’t actually need).

It’s surprisingly easy to get it working on Ubuntu 20.04. There are Wine and Lutris and the combination of these makes it possible to play even Assassin’s Creed Odyssey on Ubuntu. But it’s 2020 and the Internet’s mighty FOSS developers made big progress in place of Ubisoft. Ubisoft refuses to acknowledge Linux OS’s as a platform for gaming so they don’t port their software to Linux.
