How do I play halo on linux?

>>383765007
wine?

>>383765134
Open the picture, that's the error it gives me.

>>383765214
sorry I have no idea

I've never even used wine, just lurked /g/

try googling

You might want to run it in console for more verbose output

But anyway, you could try installing the game with Playonlinux which appears to have an installer profile specifically for Halo: Combat Evolved. Alternatively, since what I assume to be the installer is looking for config.txt in your home directory, assign the CD directory to one of the emulated drivers in winecfg (or just fuck it and bruteforce things by temporarily copying those files to your home directory because that's where the apparent installer is looking config.txt from). Sorry, but I have difficult time giving step-to-step advice without looking around a tiny bit first.

Anyhow, according to https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=2720 the game should run fine (although How To section suggests installing mfc42 DLL).

Or wait, have you already installed the game already? Given that the screenshot has contents of the CD, I assumed you were installing the game. Apparently there's a no-CD patch, apparently as an official update now (run haloupdate.exe, the game is installed in ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files (86)/Halo whatever).

I will be nice.

Don't use vanilla Wine, OP. It fucking sucks.

Try installing PlayOnLinux, which is a Wine derivative.

Playonlinux is just an interface for installing games and managing different versions of Wine, internally it's the exact same thing

>>383768516
Yes, but it autoconfigures profiles for specific games. Yes it does the same thing but it takes SO much of the work out of running the actual games.

>.exe
time to reinstall windows OP

>>383766561
Get the fuck out of here /g/

Is Gnome desktop any good? I want to try linux and use something that's actually not reminiscent of Windows.

>>383770472
It can be, with the right extensions. Vanilla GNOME is just kinda eh, but GNOME Shell's extensibility is its greatest asset.

>>383770472
Honestly? No.

Try KDE, xfce or MATE.

>>383765007
windows virtual machine?

>>383765007
It might be looking for the config file in the present working directory. try to cd into the directory with the exe and the run it through wine.

ちょっと横槍を刺させてもらうのん。今お兄ちゃんがLinuxと呼んでいる物は実は正しく言うとGNU/Linuxって言うのん。最近はGNUプラスLinuxとも言うのん。Linux単体は実はOSじゃなくて、GNUと言う完成されたシステムのフリーコンポーネントの一つとしてGNUのcorelib、shellユティリティ、その他バイタルシステムと一緒にPOSIXの定義上OSとして実装可能になってるん。
パソコンの利用者は皆知らずい毎日改変されたGNUシステムを使ってるのん。とある経緯を経て、昨今よく使われるGNUがLinuxと呼ばれるようになっているのん。なのに、GNU Projectに作られたGNUシステムと知らずにいるのん。
Linux自体は実際存在していて、皆も使ってるん。ただ、それはシステムの一部としてなのん。Linuxはkernalと言って、他のプログラムにパソコンのリソースを振り分ける役目を持つのん。KernalはOSの大事な一部だけど、単体では意味が無いのん。完成されたシステムの一部の中でしか機能できないのん。Linuxはよく、GNU OSの一部と一緒に使われるのん、いや、GNU/Linuxなのん。Linuxデストリは実は皆GNU/Linuxのデストリなのん!

Gnome and KDE are bloated shit, try Mate or Cinnamon

>>383765214

No, try KDE or XFCE.
