All titles in the Trackmania series are well supported on Linux-based devices via the Proton compatibility layer. There is no performace overhead compared to Windows and many community members use it on a daily basis with no known issues.
There are two supported installation methods, depending on the platform you would like to use to manage your games:
- Install with Steam: recommended on Steam Deck and for Steam players
- Install with Lutris: recommended for Ubisoft Connect players
The Steam installation method has the advantage of making it easy to manage and access Trackmania from your Steam library, which you are probably going to be using a lot for other games already. Note that you will still need to log in to Ubisoft Connect to play the game as per Ubisoft's launcher policies.
