    Default Does simba work on LINUX?

    I'm getting a VPS to run a simba program that runs in chrome, would this work the same on linux as it does on windows? I don't want to pay extra for windows if I don't have to

    Thanks!

    With wine yes. Smart has issues with spawning at times but I don't you're not using it for rs related things. :P

    With the Wine program compatibility layer OR if the repo on MITB is still up you might be able to install a nightly build from source, but they're most likely outdated.

    After about 6 hours of troubleshooting, pulling my hair out, pulling other's hair out, and getting mad, I finally got simba up and running on my VPS. I had to:

    Buy the VPS
    Do the Image stuff (Ubuntu)
    Install a desktop for Ubuntu
    Install and activate a VNC Server on Ubuntu
    Connect to my VNC server from my home computer
    Install Wine
    Install an old version of simba
    Do all the normal setup stuff for simba

    The only thing I'm sad about is you can't choose the target window as a linux program. I believe it still finds colors just fine though, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem.
