# Zero-FUSE Portable .tar.gz (Ubuntu 22.04/24.04, Debian, Fedora, Arch) tar -xzf vectorcraft-0.14.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz ./vectorcraft-0.14.0-linux-x86_64/bin/vectorcraft

03FAQ
Does VectorCraft require Wine, Bottles, or Proton on Linux?
No. VectorCraft is compiled natively for Linux (glibc x86_64 & ARM64) with Vulkan/OpenGL GPU acceleration, native Wayland/X11 windowing, and PipeWire/ALSA audio.
What if an .AppImage does not open on Ubuntu 22.04 or 24.04?
Ubuntu 22.04+ omits libfuse2 by default. Download the portable .tar.gz build (or install via the ArteCraft Linux launcher, which uses .tar.gz automatically) for instant zero-FUSE execution.
