Setting up Magic Arena on Linux (Ubuntu) Framework 16 Laptop
Published on Sun Dec 08 2024 11:32:55 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)I recently got myself a Framework 16 Laptop, and out of convenience installed Ubuntu (v24 LTS) on it for free.
I ocassionally play Magic Arena, but it's not officially supported on Linux. Luckily, getting it running was surprisingly easy.
Lutris
Lutris is an app which makes Windows games compatible on Linux. Installation is straightforward, either from the website or the App Center which ships on your Ubuntu install.
Installing Magic Arena
With Lutris set-up, search for Magic Arena, and install. Without any issues, it installed and worked.
Trouble-shooting
If you're having any problems, at the time I got it working, I'm using:
- Ubuntu version 24.04.1 LTS
- Magic Arena version 2024.43.10.7194.1104357
