A Linux User's Guide to Command & Conquer
However, if you're a diehard Linux exclusionist... option 2: Vanilla-Conquer is a project that uses the GPLed code from C&C Remastered to rebuild the original C&C executables with cross-platform support. It works... okay, allegedly, but it would probably work better if I could get it to run: In order to make Vanilla Conquer play nice, you need to have an unmodified install of C&C Gold/Red Alert, as they would have come on-disk: The installs from the CnCNet installers won't cut it. And sure, EA put up those disks for free, you can just download them, but... well, the installers are temperamental at best. I couldn't get an install off the disks because the installer kept complaining that I didn't have the disks inserted. So good luck with that. For Vanilla-Conquer there's no need to use an installer for the classics, OP, just download the free games from CNCNZ.com then extract or mount the extracted .ISO images and copy the assets over using these guides for VanillaTD & VanillaRA respectively, then you extract the files from INSTALL/SETUP.Z for C&C: Gold *(Tiberian Dawn) using either Unshield or InstallShield Extract. And for the two Red Alert expansions I just used good ol' DOSBox to run the PATCH.EXE from both expansion *.ISOs in SETUP/INSTALL/CSTRIKE.RTP for Counterstrike and SETUP/INSTALL/PATCH.RTP for Aftermath to acheive the required *.MIX assets.

Tiberium Sun broken?
Get CnC-DDRAW, extract the .dll, paste it on your SUN folder and it should take care of the rest.

Command & Conquer - The First Decade
And now the tricky part... and the reason why I was not able to run both RA2 and TS... You need a library called cnc-ddraw ( Releases ยท FunkyFr3sh/cnc-ddraw (github.com) ) which fixes a lot of things for old games. When using windows you need to copy the ddraw.dll and ddraw.ini files from the zip and you are done but when using wine/proton you need a simple launch option to load the custom dll file instead of the protons builtin ddraw. Thanks to u/RoweenX4 and some google-fu.
