I switched over to Linux Mint a few days ago. While the game doesn't work 'out of the box', it doesn't take too much to get working. And boy does it work - it's loading up quicker than on Windows and seems to be more responsive while on a map too.

I only had one CTD, which was while testing one of the newer mods but I wasn't able to recreate it afterwards. I'll call that a significant win.

SimCity 4 is my favorite one of the series 😭

    Great game dynamics, but so unstable

    It was stable on Windows - crashes were very rare once you had the 4GB patch installed, but I'll have to get back to you after a few hours with Linux. Theres been a few new mods that really challenge what the game can do, and one of those caused a crash with my testing, but it seems that was a once off so far.

    99% of my gameplay was in the early-mid 90s, lol I have the GOG version, so I have it running on my Mac, but I didn’t really get into it again.

    Although I have played Ultima underworld I and Ultima underworld II several times through. I’m just very glad that these games have been preserved, and that we can still play them. ❤️
