Hi everyone,
I’ve been a passionate member of the RedM and FiveM community for a long time. Recently, I made the switch to Linux (Pop!_OS) as my daily driver, joining a rapidly growing number of enthusiasts who prefer an open-source environment for both work and gaming.
While I love the depth of the roleplay community, it’s a bit heartbreaking to be locked out of the client-side experience simply because of the OS. With the massive success of the Steam Deck and the continuous improvements in Proton, Linux gaming is no longer a niche. We are seeing a significant shift: many high-end users with powerful hardware—like the RX 7900 XTX or Ryzen systems—are now choosing Linux.
The irony is that the server-side software (FXServer) already runs flawlessly on Linux. The only missing piece of the puzzle is making the client-side (specifically the anti-cheat ‘Adhesive’) compatible with Proton.
Enabling Linux support would not only grow the community but also future-proof the platform as the desktop landscape continues to evolve. We are a tech-savvy and dedicated part of the community, and many of us would be more than happy to help with testing or providing feedback.
Are there currently any specific technical hurdles or plans on the roadmap regarding Proton compatibility? We would love to see some official support for the Linux platform!
Best regards,
