03FAQ

Does WordCraft require Wine, Bottles, or Proton on Linux?

No. WordCraft 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.
