TPAI actually runs quite well under Wine/Linux, at least on my hardware. It does use my old Intel HD Graphics 530 GPU, but I haven’t tried it with newer more powerful GPUs.
I’m currently running TPAI v2.4.0 under Wine v9.4 and I think that it would run under Wine v9.0 but probably not much older versions. I have successfully used a few combinations of Wine versions (9.1, 9.2, 9.3 and 9.4) and TPAI versions (2.3.0, 2.3.1, 2.3.2 and 2.4.0).
The catch is that the installer doesn’t quite work:
- Run it until it says that it “ended prematurely because of an error”.
- At that point, don’t click on “Finish” or close the window. If you do, it will remove everything it just installed. Instead kill the process from a terminal (or use something like ‘xkill’) to terminate the installer without letting it finish.
- Then start the installer again. This time it should offer to repair the installation. Select that option and then it should work. At least it does on my computer.
I have posted some screenshots here.
