The Eve Online Linux Client was discontinued [New launcher... new Linux error? - #104 by CCP\_Bartender](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/new-launcher-new-linux-error/319782/104) .

As for running it under wine, there is a recommendation to use Proton:

However when troubleshooting my own attempt, I see many people stating they successfully use Wine as well.

But all I ever see for DX12 is “don’t”, that goes for both Windows and Linux, its just crashes Eve Online everywhere.
