Re: linux help
Well first off it sounds like youre gonna buy a linux distro which I dont recomend. If youre going linux use Ubuntu or Mint. When I used linux I used winrar like you would on windows. I couldnt get my controller setup and working correctly using motion joy so I just went ahead and bought windows. Linux is great for developement and things but I would really consider finding $90 extra for windows. Hope I could help

I am going with Linux Ubuntu
Re: linux help
Going with Linux and not knowing much about computers is an odd choice. Do you know much about Ubuntu and how the UI works?

I strongly agree with this. Linux is a very complicated os and is a huge learning curve.Pumaxcs wrote:Going with Linux and not knowing much about computers is an odd choice. Do you know much about Ubuntu and how the UI works?

Fedora isn't too bad as far as button-click operation is concerned. I don't have experience with other Linux distro's, but for web surfing and mx sim playing, it's not much different than windows.LKR47 wrote:I strongly agree with this.

Re: linux help
I know this is years late, but I'm hunting the same info the OP was. Not sure how I would install tracks and skin on linux when most, if not all, the custom tracks/skins I've seen are in an saf file. What I see here however is people bashing the guys choice to use linux rather than helping him. Honestly it's not that difficult. Windows is a huge learning curve for someone who's never used it. Honestly I find linux easier to use in many cases.
Re: linux help
Unzip/extract (however you like it), then it should be placed in ~/mxsimulator/
