I have an old vista machine that I was thinking about putting Zorin or centOS on the last time I tried this it was with Zorin 9 and wine wouldn't run OR because of an XNA problem. Has anyone got OR to work on WINE with the new Monogame version and if you have, how many hoops must you go through?

I would be interested in this also. With Windows 7 approaching its end of support by Microsoft, I have to consider if I want to shell out for Win10 or consider a Linux distribution. Given that practically every application I use on my PC already has a Linux version (Open Office, browser, Thunderbird, etc.) OR would be the only holdout.

You could also configure your PC to dual boot, eg Windows 7 for OR (no internet connection/web browser to minimize virus risk) and Linux for everything else.
Windows 7 for the reason that it won't mess up your configuration every few months when Win10 decides it needs to upgrade.

I have the menu running on Zorin in my VMware using WINE but I get getting an error about the Video Card compatibility when the route loads. I'm curious if it is a VM problem or a Linux problem, the machine I'm running has an ATI 530 graphics card with 4gig of DDR5 dedicated to the video card. It runs fine on windows 10. I know it should work, but not sure if it is WINE or the VM? Anyone out there a little more knowledgable about this than me? Right now I'm just playing but would like to see if I can get one of my older machines to run it.

It could be both - in virtual machines, often not the full graphics power is available.
Plus OR (at least on my computer) still asks for XNA 3.5 which isn't supported by wine.
