I recently got it running with wine under Gentoo Linux. For setting it up I used the tool Q4wine, with actually does all the winetricks stuff and furthermore creating a new enviroment. Make sure that is is 32bit! I run the dotnet 4,72 winetricks scripts and it finally worked. There is one feature missing: If you move the curser over certain airspaces, it does not show up a tooltip like window which explains the airspace structure at that point. This is not a big issue because you can see it on the virtual radar as well or you just need to check the bounderies on the map.
But I did not discover any other flaws, it is completly useable. If you stress the application window: Resize, fullscreen, toggle window mode and something like that a crash might happen. I got it twice in the last weeks but when do normal planning stuff it looks stable. I will keep on running it in wine because using a VM for it is just a overkill and the wine version is much faster. It is incredible fast compared to Virtualbox. Just ask if you have futher questions.

I like it on linux (mint) too. But I'm struggling with linux basics.
How do you add the dotnet 4.72 exactly? I found it in the Menu "Settings" -> Winetricks -> dlls. I was able to click and install it. But when I start the skydemonsetup.exe in the explorer, I get the error "SkyDemon requires Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7.2"
What is missing?
