I am a diehard Linux user, but I just don’t like any desktop Linux distributions/environments.

Even desktop Linux operating systems are somewhat lacking. Linux and gaming do not generally go hand-in-hand.

#LINUX JAVA APPLET VIEWER HOW TO#
In this post I document the most desirable method to get the JaGeX Applet Viewer, outline the various command line options and when to use them, provide a summary of how to install the client system-wide for any user, and finally how to easily run the client using a command alias or launcher. There are a variety of approaches to installing and running the official client on Linux - but they all invovle downloading or extracting JaGeX Applet Viewer ( jagexappletviewer.jar) and running it using Java and specific command line options. But there are work-arounds to get the official client running on any Linux distribution. The general process to install and run the official client on Linux is not straight-forward as there is no multi-platform installer. I generally use the RuneLite client, but I was messing around the other day and tried installing the official OldSchool client on Ubuntu, and this post outlines how I got it working… and some interesting stuff I discovered along the way. This post documents how I downloaded, installed and run the official OSRS client on a fresh Ubuntu Desktop Linux version 18.04 system.
