As you may have know, I recently switched to linux about several months ago since Windows 10 is ending its support soon this October (insert dumb rant about *Why Windows 11 is doodoo* :P)., and im quite curious if anybody here has done the same. At least some might've tested Linux back long ago since I heard there was "LinMugen" if I'm not wrong?

1. Which distribution did you choose and why? theres over a hundred to choose from, but here's some of the more common ones that I'm mostly familiar with.

- Ubuntu
- Debian
- Arch
- Fedora (+ Nobara & Bazzite for pre-gaming configs)
- Linux Mint
- OpenSUSE

2. How well does M.U.G.E.N (under the *Wine* layer) and I.K.E.M.E.N, work for you? Ikemen Go seem to be similar, but slighty better now that linux has some neat features with screen compositing. for Mugen, some tweaking with libraries/dependencies was involved, but eventually I managed to get the exact amount of performance it was on windows, probably even better.

The official LinMugen from Elecbyte is a version even older than WinMugen. I don't really recommend using it, as many characters won't run properly.

1. Mugen 1.1 works flawlessly under Wine for me. I do not think that you even need any recent Wine version, so any default distro package should do. I second the recommendation not to use LinMugen.

2. Ikemen Go has a native Linux build and it also works flawlessly for me. Use the nightly build (and not 0.99).
