You can run the windows version via wine or proton. For a native versions, not yet but you might want to keep your eye on https://github.com/TheAssemblyArmada/Thyme though it is still a way off being portable to other platforms.

Project mention: AI hit one of my obelisks while the deploy animation was going. Sent me ~1,000,00 power into the red. Deploying a GDI barracks fixed it later. Has anyone else seen this before? | /r/commandandconquer | 2023-12-09
Phobos

1 209 0.0 C++

Ares-compatible C&C Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge engine extension

Project mention: [Tiberian sun] Downloading mods | /r/commandandconquer | 2023-05-03

I downloaded Ion Shock and ran it through Bitdefender's scanning and it didn't get any hits. Just from my observation, it appears to be a mod sort of hacked together from the CnCNet client and seems to be packing the trifecta of exe patches in Kratos, Phobos, and (of course) Ares? That's not to say there couldn't be something nasty thrown into the mix for runtime but I'm a bit too lazy to get it actually running just to check that out.

Project mention: Looking for a ways to create an AI simulation | /r/gamedev | 2023-03-17
