A Linux User's Guide to Command & Conquer
C&C: Tiberian Dawn/Red Alert: Here, you have options, since EA released the game for free. Option 1: CnCNet's installers. These actually even come with Linux versions (don't get too excited: they're just wine wrappers) and are generally easy to work with. There are Lutris installers that wrap them, and it's overall very easy (just make sure you add ddraw to your dll overrides in wine as native,builtin). 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. You might have the best luck with the game data in C&C Remastered, but I didn't really test that. Option 3: C&C Remastered. Yeah, it means putting $20 in EA's pocket, but honestly I'd say they deserve it for this. C&C Remastered is a really, really good release, it runs flawlessly through Proton, it doesn't install Origin in your prefix, and it has full mod support thanks to game code and a map editor that are both GPLed (please, someone port that map editor to linux... I might learn C# just to do it myself). And it has substantial control improvements over the originals (right clicks! Oh, how I missed you), and a remastered soundtrack, which is honestly worth the $20 in and of itself (hence why one of the very few programming projects I completed was writing a tool to rip it from the game files). If you want to play multiplayer, CnCnet or Remastered are the way to go... or you could play OpenRA, but honestly OpenRA is less a recreation and more a new game that plays like C&C and uses its assets. Still a great time though.
