I tried getting into OSRS a few weeks ago. I noticed the official Jagex client doesn't run on Linux, so I installed RuneLite. However Jagex recently mandated the transition of email/password logins to a fancy proprietary OAuthy thing that _requires_ their official launcher. Apparently the kosher way around this is installing RuneLite and the Jagex launcher in Lutris or Wine, but I just gave up.

This doesn't seem right, I use runelite on linux fine without any extra lutris or wine stuff. As far as I know you don't need the official launcher. Edit: oh, I understand, I have an old account without the jagex launcher stuff. New accouts apparently need it. Well that sucks for you, I'm sorry.

  Have you migrated to a Jagex Account yet? You probably haven't done that which is why you can still play without the official launcher.

    You're correct, see my edit above.

I installed this flatpak-packaged Jagex Launcher and RuneLite, and it works flawlessly on Linux. It does run in Wine, but the package takes care of setting that up. https://github.com/USA-RedDragon/jagex-launcher-linux-flatpak?tab=readme-ov-file#manual-installation https://github.com/USA-RedDragon/jagex-launcher-linux-flatpa... It is seemingly somewhat officially sanctioned, as a help article links to a repo that links to the flatpak. https://help.jagex.com/hc/en-gb/articles/13413514881937-Downloading-the-Jagex-Launcher-on-Linux https://help.jagex.com/hc/en-gb/articles/13413514881937-Down... https://github.com/TormStorm/jagex-launcher-linux https://github.com/TormStorm/jagex-launcher-linux

I use https://github.com/Adamcake/Bolt https://github.com/Adamcake/Bolt to play on Linux with a Jagex account. It's frustrating that Jagex won't support Linux directly, though.
