From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Good for you! Seriously!

For the rest of us, a few notes on how you accomplished this would be sha-weet! I think sketch up is the most approachable 3d program, but all my "post Windows" attempts have resulted in crashes and freezes. 😥

you have to keep in mind that you can't even install SU24 with Wine, so a portable version is a must which mean sail the high seas is the only way to obtain it (appnee dot com)

here is how I did it in order (you need a portable SketchUP2024 and latest version of visual c++ 64bit and 32bit)
1, install Lutris (not sure if it work with Bottles or plain wine but this is the only way I know works)
2, install Wine normally (sudo pacman -S wine) it should come with system 9.17 or higher
3, open Lutris and let it download dependencies
4, create a new "game" entry inside Lutris set Runner to system 9.17 and executable location to visual c++ and install it normally
5, if you try to run SU now (change location from visual c++ to SketchUP exe) it will crash to fix that you need to install a windows component inside winetrick (by click on the glass wine icon on the bottom>winetrick>Select the default wineprefix>install a Windows DLL or component>ucrtbase2019)
6, now you should be able to run it but you might see a black screen, to fix that you just have to restart the app a few time then you should be able to click on the check box and it take you to the home screen, it will crash the first time you open a template/model then you can just reopen it and can create a template just like normal
7, you're Golden
