MSFS 2024 works on Ultra using Linux!

I just enjoyed my first few moments of MSFS 2024!!!

I am running Manjaro Linux on my 2025 Framework 13 with AMD AI 300.

It just works beautifully! I did not expect that.

The last time I really used flight simulator was on a dual processor Pentium 3.

Ultra resolution was selected automatically. Unfortunately I couldn’t go fullscreen on my 4K monitor, or I don’t know how yet. The frame rate looked decent. I only tried EHTW en EHTE yet. I added a full size keyboard to have rudder and aileron controls via the numpad.

I will try my Stadia controller later an will probably make a fs layer for my custom keyboards :wink:

The only thing a bit fiddly was hooking up my Microsoft account to my steam account. I could not paste my password from my password manager and the font size for the login was a bit too small. Downloading the game and data did take some time.
